Default need help asap

hey guys. im new to this forum..this is my first post.

i have a 98 blazer zr2 5spd. drove it fine last night, woke up today started my truck, rolled out of my spot in neutral and went to put it in first but it wont go in . it seems like the clutch pedal has no resistance or very little at all compared to what it usually is...the shop is going to charge me 90$ to get it towed in. im sure someone has had a similar problem but i dont have time to skim through the whole forum because i have a job interview soon. i am somewhat mechanically inclined..but this is my first manual so im not too confident.. if anyone has any ideas as to what my problem is and/or a temporary fix in order to drive it to my interview and the shop i would be so grateful. thanks for your time.
