Default Stuck Clutch

What a day...I was driving and shifting fine until I felt the clutch not springing up normally as it does. After about three more shifts from a light, my clutch just sunk and it didn't want to come up. I had to pull it back up with my toes. It felt like an on/off switch because there was no spring to it anymore.

What's worse is, when it's down it's fully engaged so I couldn't drive and shift anymore. I had to push my car to a side street and call AAA. Towed it to the dealership but the service department was closed for the night. I used a drop box and now have to wait until the morning to hear what they have to say.

Does anybody here have a clue as to what's wrong? I've never experienced this in any of the manual cars that I've driven before. My car only has 15,800 miles on it.

On a lighter note I did see a Red 370Z drive by as I was waiting at the red light in the tow truck. I was at the corner of Tustin Ranch Rd and El Camino Real waiting to turn into the auto center.
