Had to go to town and the truck was fine. When I left the store the clutch pedal was sticking and I had to pull it up with my foot. The third time I stalled the truck. Now I cannot push the clutch. Not sure what it is.

More than likely you have a failure in the slave cylinder or throw out bearing. What happens is when this fails the clutch pedal will not have the ability to return or press back out against your foot.

Either way you have to remove the unit to fix this so I would suggest just changing out the whole clutch.

Here are some guides that will help with this:
