no power, barely able to move

Just yesterday my car was running beautifully until it started to become terribly rough and I was unable to produce any power, I had to burn the hell out of my clutch to get it going because it would only get going once I got it into high enough RPMs. A terribly strong smell of gas comes out even while the car is idle, when it first started I popped the hood and noticed a spark plug had fallen out. I managed it down one street but nothing got better. Any suggestions?

I put the spark plug in and it seemed to have only a little bit more power, only enough to barely move it, could the engine flooded even after driving it down a street?
