has the clutch plate seized on the splines or stuck to the flywheel and cover. Try starting it whilst in gear and driving it a bit (obviously you need to be pointing where you are going to be going when you do this)

somehow the clutch isn't disengaging - first port of call would be the cable or hydraulics to check them out particularly if the pedal doesn't feel quite right.

Otherwise it's gearbox out to check the clutch

Check the fluid level and try bleeding the clutch if it's hydraulic.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.
