When Changing gears the clutch went slack and was not able to find any of them, then my engine failed and had t pull over, tried to restart the car and the engine would not start but ticked over and made a crunching noise every time, also the clutch is still slack.

Your clutch has probably lost some of the friction material, but it should still start in neutral. Could be a mechanical problem with the main shaft splines, removal is required to check this out.
