Was there fluid loss? aThe master will leak into pass. compart. look under dash on clutch pedal. Also pull boot on slave. If either is leaking replace.
When you say clutch won't release do you mean clutch is engaged ie. like neutral or like it grinds if you try and put in gear?

You did not post mileage so I would probably sell the clutch master and the slave with a brake fluid flush to be sure that the problem does not reoccur. Preventive maintenance is important to the longevity of any car.
