You clutch cable is shot, needs adjusting, or your stock clutch quadrant just gave up.

+1. If your car still moves with the clutch pedal depressed then the clutch is not completely disengaging either due to a stretched out clutch cable or a malfunctioning self-adjuster mechanism (quadrant assy.). If you have an adjustable clutch cable assembly, then it needs to be adjusted. If it is the stock self-adjusting assembly then try pulling up on the clutch pedal and then pushing down on it to activate the self-adjusting mechanism. How's the clutch pedal feel by the way? If it seems rather stiff then it may be possible that the clutch cable may be frayed in it's housing which will warrant replacement and replacement soon because a frayed clutch cable can snap.
