Could be the cable snapped or the release arm inside the gearbox.

does the clutch pedal stay pressed down or does it come up again as normal?

If it stays pressed down (by the spring behind it) then cable could be snapped or the clutch cable clip could be broken.

If the cable is ok then the release lever inside the gearbox has failed.

It might also be the clutch that has failed.

I would seek a bit more advice, if it is the release lever then it is repairable.
