Check your batt terminals first.

Clutch hydraulics fail? Clutch interlock switch? Can't tell much from what you've written...

Sounds like your clutch hydraulics failed and you tried to start it in gear and effectively killed the battery because you probably had the parking brake/etc set, or similar.

I asked a friend of mine and he said i should drain the clutch fluid and put new stuff in. Does anyone think that would work?

Changing fluid might work. Though I would look under your car into the access plate on your transmission just look for anything that looks wrong. If the clutch is disengaged that is wrong.

Something in abrupt stop might've clogged or pinched a hydraulic line and prevented it from disengaging. When I say might, I mean... probably didn't, but cross your fingers because it's an easy fix if it did.

Also check your pedal itself, and the mechanics from the pedal that operate the system itself.
Otherwise it would seem to be your master cylinder
