I have a 2001 Ford F150 that needs the clutch replaced. When I called the auto parts store, they ask if it was self adjusting or non self adjusting? How do I tell?

The OEM fitted clutch plate is adjustable ..so if it has not been replaced before it is adjustable !!

ADJUSTMENTS
CLUTCH PEDAL FREE PLAY
NOTE:Clutch pedal is self-adjusting. When clutch system is serviced, clutch pedal must be pumped at least 5 times to set tension.

CLUTCH PRESSURE PLATE (OFF-VEHICLE)
Using a suitable adapter and press, depress pressure plate fingers until adjusting ring moves freely. See Fig. 1. Adjust pressure plate by rotating adjusting ring counterclockwise until tension springs are compressed to a width of 0.55" (14 mm). Hold adjusting ring while releasing pressure on pressure plate fingers.
