Hi there. Last night, I was trying to change from fifth to fourth gear and my clutch suddenly stopped working. I tried every gear but the clutch seemed to be stuck and would not engage. When I stopped the car, I pulled the clutch back up with my foot and continued driving. It seemed okat after that. Should I be concerned?

Yes, what happens is the clutch master or slave cylinder is bypassing which will happens. Here is a video to show how you will replace the slave which means the transmission needs to come out:
