Clutch pressed in all the way... no turn over

You could pull the plug off of the back of the alternator and see if the car still runs. You could remove the two wire plug to the Main Relay and see if the car still runs as this will tell you if the relay is stuck closed or not. You could pull the 15 amp Engine fuse and see if the car turns off (this should definitely turn the car off).
And do the idiot lights stay on w/the car running as they should not.

Ok so I checked the 15amp Engine fuse It's good. All I did was take it out and put it back in and then it turns off -___- maybe the Main relay is stuck closed? I'm not sure

If the fuse was not good then the car would not run. It's not about the fuse being good or not, but why is it receiving voltage when it plainly should not. What you should do is pull the two wire plug at the Main Relay and check to see if the B/W wire has voltage to it as it should not. Do this w/the Engine fuse in place and the engine off. And do you have a multimeter?
And do your idiot lights stay on w/the car running. This is rather important and I'm not asking just to waste time.

So is the 2 wire plug on the left?

The Main Relay has two plugs. One plug w/four wires has a B/W wire, a B/G wire, a B/Y wire, and a White/Blue wire. The other plug has two wires one is B/W and the other is Black. The question which begs being asked is why are you asking how to solve a problem when you have no way of diagnosing it? You need a multimeter and one that works.

So the car starts up but dies due to low voltage? And you realize the low voltage by the voltmeter gauge. If so, then your alternator is likely problematic. If this were the case then recharge the battery and unplug the alternator's two wire plug and then try turning off the car in the normal fashion.

Just to add to what satch said, I wouldn't try to run it for very long with out a working alt unless your in the market for a new battery anyways but if you, for some reason, have a deep cycle battery you might not kill it depending on how far you are moving it.
