Hey there. Your clutch is hydraulically operated. The clutch slave cylinder uses brake fluid from the master cylinder to engage and disengage the clutch. If the brake fluid level is good and the return spring on top of the clutch pedal under the dash is intact, the most likely culprit is the clutch slave cylinder. It may be leaking internally if no visible brake fluid leaks are evident. If the slave cylinder is bad, it will not provide enough hydraulic pressure to not only engage and disengage the clutch, but will not have enough pressure to return the clutch pedal as well. Have the slave cylinder inspected and/ or replaced by a certified technician, such as one from YourMechanic.
