Hi! im new to this forum and i am seeking advice after a recent tragedy.

I was out in with my new s14 1997 silvia, it just arrived from Japan here to Canada (Its cold and snowy here now) so anyways I was out with it enjoying it, I hadn't drivin it much yet. I was trying to put it sideways of course (which I managed to do many times without fail) however this time as I slowed down and balanced out my clutch pedal stayed down to the floor, and I was in neutral (5 speed manual btw). I grabbed the pedal with my hand and it went back up, however seems to have no function pressing it. The vehicle was idling fine, however when I tried to force it into a gear I could feel the RPM drop as they would if the clutch wasnt in. No noticeable leaks. Also I turned the vehicle off and was able to turn it back on with the clutch in... How should I go about diagnosing this from the easiest things to check to hardest?
