There might be a shift cable that has come off. Check the shift linkages on the gearbox and make sure they are all good.

Also the clutch is hydraulic so you will need to bleed it to make sure it is fully disengaging. Locate the slave cylinder on the gearbox and trace the line going down to a bleed nipple. You bleed it just like you bleed brakes usually with 2 people because it is 38247298374 times easier.

If you can't get the clutch to break loose (assuming it is stuck) then try leaving the clutch depressed overnight although with a hydraulic clutch the pressure can slowly leech away and you land up getting nowhere in which case find a way to jam the shift arm. An alternative is to roll start the car and once started thrash it hard in whatever gear you started it in and hope that the clutch freed/slipped/broke loose or whatever, its a real ghetto way of doing it but when you get sick of conventional methods you get creative. Of coarse you could disassemble to do it but that is not fun
