Default 91 f250 5.8L gasoline w/ s5-42 transmission

Hello!This is my first pick up and manual transmission. It has a granny gear for 1st so I usually start in 2nd. I got a great idea to punch it in 1st to see how fast it get get off the line. It revved up really high. I tried to put it into 2nd but it wouldn't go into gear. Now it can't shift into any gear when the car is started and it grinds if I try to put it into reverse. If I start it while in second gear and the clutch peddle to the floor it still rolls forward slowly. Any ideas? Thank you for reading this.

If the vehicle has a hydraulic clutch system, there most likely is a problem within the system that is not allowing the clutch to completely release.

It does have a hydraulic clutch. I'm not great with fixing cars but I'm learning. Any ideas on what I could do to confirm what part needs to be replaced or repaired?

Is the reservoir for the clutch master cyl full with the required fluid?

When you go to depress the clutch pedal,there should be about 1 inch "Free ply" before you feel any resistance. What does your vehicle have?
