As stated above, the clutch disc is probably stuck to the flywheel which sometimes happens when the car has been sitting for a period of time. After you warm up the engine while the transmission is in neutral, turn off the engine. Put it in low gear and hold the clutch pedal to the floor and start it again. Just be sure you have a lot of room in front of you and be ready to turn the ignition off if the clutch does not unstick. The engine should start and usually the clutch disc will free up on the first try. If it does not, try again.

Usually the clutch will unstick on the first try. Just be sure you have the clutch pedal all the way to the floor and there is plenty of room in front of you.

I have had it happen to me more than once.
