An S2000 is not to be towed. It must be flatbedded (see owner's manual).
Can you tell if the clutch is stuck in the engaged or disengaged position?
Any other details you might care to share. Is this car new to you? Previous owner? Do you know if the clutch delay valve has been messed with?
More details may refine my response but for now, I think your problem will be between the slave cylinder and the throw out bearing. I think the hydraulics is fine, but something in the area I mentioned has dislodged or has broken.

At the same time, I noticed that I couldnt shift to 3rd, obviously if the clutch didnt come out I guess.

To clarify ............................. normally, when clutch pedal is to the floor, clutch is disengaged. When the clutch pedal is up, clutch is engaged. If your clutch was fully disengaged (like it would be if the pedal is on the floor), you would be able to shift into almost any gear you like (except maybe 1st or reverse). The fact that you can't get it into 3rd indicates that your clutch is fully or partially engaged. If your pedal is stuck on the floor, your release fork may be broken or seized or popped out of its anchor or the slave cylinder came off like Cdelena said or the slave cylinder plunger has come out of the release fork socket and pushed past it.
