Default clutch went out...kinda?

ok, its crazy so bare with me...but my clutch went out or so i thought...but the car still moves, u jus gotta rev the **** out of it to get it to move. even then u gotta keep it at high rpm's to maintain minimal speed. Its kinda hard to explain, but if anyone knows what im talking about PLEASE help me asap...its a 92 dx with a Y8 motor if that helps any

Sounds like the clutch is slipping = clutch is toast.

it wasnt slipping...thats why im so flustered, it didnt have any signs of going out (ie slipping, hopping, speratic reving etc)...the only thing strange it was doing is (as of yesterday) ud have to rev it up pretty good to get out of 1st/reverse to avoid shaking but i jus thought it was due to my bum iacv...its acting as if its out because i can b at a dead stop, put it in gear, and it wont cut off if im off of the clutch AND gas...but for some reason i CAN accelerate

The clutch is worn or possibly contaminated with oil. Is there oil leaking out of the transmission housing weep hole?

You'll see a small hole at the lowest point where the transmission meets the engine.

If the clutch disk and flywheel are contaminated with oil, then the engine rear main seal or transmission input shaft seal may have sprung a leak. If so, you'd need to replace the leaking oil seal and then replace the clutch and possibly flywheel.
