That kinda sounds like your axle may have popped out.

Can't say for certain without opening it up. This exact scenario happened to two of my friends and both times one of the springs on the clutch broke.

"Please help" is not an adequate thread title - see Rules sticky. Titles must summarize the tech problem/question - Title edited.

Could be your clutch disc came apart, an axle came out, or one or more of the disc springs are broken.

Most likely the axle was popped out past the lock ring on the side that lost the ball joint and it jumped the rest of the way out.

If this happens to you, the first test is to put it in gear and try to move, and watch the speedometer. If the speedometer goes up you almost certainly have an axle problem. If it does not, the clutch or the transmission could be bad.
