Good Afternoon ,
It sounds like a problem with the clutch hydraulic system has leaked the fluid out .
If you can fill it up and bleed it you may be able to get it working until it leaks out again depending on how large of a leak it has .

I don’t know how to bleed it, but where would I find the spot to put the fluid in?

It's possible that something hit it if a tire came apart .
Try filling up your brake fluid reservoir and see if you can get a pedal back
