Yeah, give some more details.
Does it not move when you hit the gas and release the clutch?
Does it just not accelerate?
Can you push it when it is in neutral?

Man I don't want to be the burden of crappy news, but It sounds like your clutch might be just gone. It might slipping so bad that it can't pull its own weight. If you can get through all the gears w/o any movement, maybe your clutch isn't engaging. It sounds like you need to go back to whoever sold you the car and have them deal w/ it.

Nah, i doubt it. Check your shifter linkage. Sounds like the cables came loose.. they're under the center console. It's easy to take out - only six screws and your shift knob..

I didn't think of that one! But he said that the car was going into gear?

Doesn't necesarily mean it's going into gear.

Either that or his shift fork is broken...
