Clutch master slave cylinder. Just replace it.

Also check your hydro fluid for the clutch itself. If you need to fill it use DOT3 only.

Its the same reservoir as the brake fluid. The firewall end of the reservoir is for clutch and you will see there is a separating wall inside so its possible the clutch is low but the brakes are ok.

Likely though, the master is crapped out, if you replace/rebuild it you should do the slave at the same time.

Make sure to bleed the air out of it. The master slave cylinder (next to refill container) need to be filled with fluid before installing.

Also, in the future, if the clutch does stick to the floor, you can pull it up with your foot. Happened to me before.
