Well newbie, for STARTERS learn to describe your problem with a few details, that's your biggest problem. The hydraulics is a cinch, the incomplete questions, that could be unrepairable

It could mean that the throw out bearing is bound, or that the pressure plate is shot.
In a hydraulic clutch, it could also mean that the pressure valve is blocked. Some of the hydraulic clutches have a residual pressure valve to provide adjustment. If this gets blocked pressure is not returned to the master cylinder. This would result in the clutch acting as if your foot is still down on the clutch (slipping).
There are at least basic designs for a hydraulic clutch systems. One uses a hydraulic throw out bearing. If these get bound or over extended the transmission has to be removed to replace it. The other uses a slave cylinder on the outside the bell housing. These are easily serviced.
Good luck

JT B Ford has you squared away. Remove and replace, and bleed.
Brake fluid is hydroscopic, meaning it absorbs water from the air like crazy. Id bet that you'r brake fluid is black and nasty. Probably the most neglected fluid on most peoples car. As brake fluid gets older it absorbs water and is broken down by heat. Its actually rated by the boiling point, which gets lower with age. This is probably why you'r slave is bound up; water causing corosion.
Before instaling the new slave I suggest flushing the brake sys. A vacume bleader would be my first choice, but backyard hill billy style you can start with a turkey bastor to suck all the fluid out of the master. Then spray in there with brake clean to blast out some of the black crap thats gona be caked all over the botom of the master and wipe out with a paper towel being carefull not to leave any pieces of the towel in the brake sys. Fill with brake fluid, (probably calls for dot 3 but you should be sure) always cap off master because moisture accumulates quickly. Then flush out by bleading each wheel untell clear fuid is coming out of bleader.
Start at the wheel furthest away from master and work your way to the wheel closest to master.
Be careful not to bleed the master all the way dry while bleeding wheels or youl have lots of fun getting all the air out.

If your slave cyl is stuck out it would mean that it is pushing
on the fork that holds the release bearing, which in turn would
mean that the pressure plate is being held in the released position and the clutch will not engage....hence the car won't move.... if the slave is stuck out without pressure against it..i.e. stepping on the clutch pedal, then you have any one of a number of different causes...knowing what type of car would
help due to so many different clutch set-ups and means or release...etc....

Cylinder on what? Bad valve, pump not working, air bound, no fluid. You need to give more info.

Replace it and bleed system for air, hope this helps.

Probably moisture has it frozen from rust.
