Sounds like you have had a clutch plate failure.
Does it make any noise above normal when you try drive?

Your call payment hasn't gone through.
Your clutch operation is what usually happens when the clutch plate linings falls off. You get no drive. Or you have a broken shaft in the transmission. Usually you would hear some noise if the 2nd scenario is your case here.

Here is a simple explanation of how a clutch works:

I would say you need to have your vehicle towed to your nearest workshop for repair.
I wish you well moving forward.
