Default help, clutch problem

today i was driving my car and it was fine then i stopped to get gas started it and pushed in the clutch and it wouldnt go into gear. it was like there was a wall stopping it. the clutch felt fine and it didnt grind or anything and after about 10 mins i just started it again tryed to put it in gear and it went. so i just drove back home. one weird thing was whenever i had my foot on the clutch and tryed to put it in gear the car would start rolling forward. alright so whats wrong?

If you have any mechanical skills you can put a master cylinder in.

Not sure, Just going from my experence. Myself installed my clutch 11inch monster and creep going into gear and practical wouldnt go into gear. I could pump the pedal about ten times and would go into gear. So I order a Tick master installed it and adjusted and smooth as butter now. I imagine the stock master leak internally and bypasses the seals inside. But thats just my experence.
