Check under the pedal to make sure the clutch cylinder rod which is connected by the pedal with a plastic clip hasnt broke this will make u loose ur pedal if its broken

The spring under the pedal is designed to push the pedal up after u depress clutch if u can push the pedal down if it stays on the floor and u have to lift the pedal up to get the pedal to normal height u have a clutch hydraulic problem if the pedal will not stay up even when lifted up by hand u must have a pedal problem grab a torch and look under your pedal u may need to take the plastic cover under the steering wheel of very straight foward to do then look at the pedal u will see a metal rod going to the clutch pedal there should be a plastic clip that holds it into the pedal and a big spring just have a look u might see something broken
