^^^ as stated above, this is related to the master/slave cylinders. One of the two could have gone bad, or both at the same time (which is very rare). Easy way to check: stick your head underneath the dashboard and look up behind the pedals, do you see any fluid leaking by the firewall near the clutch pedal? If the master cylinder went bad, a clutch fluid leak will/may be visible most likely inside the car where I just mentioned to check.

If all looks good inside the car, then you'll have to get underneath the car and check the slave cylinder for leaks (mounted to the transmission). If no leaks are found, there may be air in the system, at which point you should go ahead and bleed it, in hopes that this will fix it and that it will not happen again. If it does happen again, there may be a small leak in the clutch system.
