It does sound like you may have torn the material off the clutch disc.
In any case the bell housing inspection cover when removed will reveal the cause.
If a lot of junk comes out when you remove the cover, that would confirm it.
The center of the disc may also be torn from the disc itself.
Welcome to the forum !!

The only thing in the trans that would allow what is happening, would be if you snapped the input shaft. That's why they usually make the clutch the weaker link.
If that input shaft is turning so are some of the gears in the trans and you would get some gear clash if you tried to shift it into any gear without using the clutch.
