Default Clutch pedal stuck - thoughts?

So I depress the clutch and there is a bit of pop noise and feel under the pedal and now it's stuck to the floor. Car starts fine. (997.2 RS).

Any thoughts?

Yes all same symptom

Google 997 clutch spring - and remove or replace your broken one - very common

I had this exact same problem and outcome on a different make of car and it turned out that the clutch throw out bearing capsized on the clutch fork i.e. popped off the fork and spun around on the input shaft.

This. I had this happen as well. Clutch fork replaced. I replaced clutch at the same time--another 4.0, about 10-15 track days ago. At RA this weekend, and I think it just happened again! Had to quit before session ended, and missed Monday's runs.
