Or slave cylinder.
Or your master cylinder push rod came loose from the pedal...

Or a line has a hole.
Or a big air bubble in the system
Or the arms/fingers on the pressure plate completely snapped off.
Or the slave cylinder has completely come off.
Or your clutch fork popped loose.
Or it is an automatic transmission, hence why the clutch pedal seems a bit off..

Or your pressing the parking brake that isnt hooked up!

Edit: wait those aren't on the floor in that car huh?
Or the torque converter has 10w-30 in it.
or maybe the vtak isnt engaging
Shut up you TARD. VTAK ALWAYS engages.
First check your clutch fluid resoirvoir. Is it filled? If yes, pump your clutch pedal up and down about 5 times. Does the pedal feel come back temporarily? Check the area around the master cylinder and slave cylinder for signs of brake fluid.

Generally speaking the slave will fail before the master. I'm not sure if your vehicle has an internal or external slave cylinder. If it is external, expect about 20 minutes to put on a new one. If it is internal, expect about 5 hours as the transmission has to come down, and you're usually better off sticking in a clutch at that point for the cost or at least difficulty of the labor. Also, it's recommended to replace the other cylinder when you replace one, as the new one will be pushing fluid a lot harder and the aged slave or master may not be able to keep up.

This is assuming you have a hydraulic issue, which your symptoms point to. Realize there are other possibilities, however, and that checking the hydraulics should be the starting point.
