Check the clutch hydraulics to see if they are working properly.  You can have a friend press the clutch pedal while you watch the clutch slave cylinder actuate the top of the clutch fork on the top of the transmission.  On rare occasions, the clutch fork can pop off, the pivot ball can break, or the clutch fork can bend or crack.

Confirm the transmission has good transmission fluid in it.  If for some reason the transmission fluid all drained, the transmission would eventually seize up due to no lubrication.

If you are unable to shift the transmission into any gear, this becomes a major problem.  With the engine off, try to shift the transmission - does it shift with the engine off?  If so, a dead pilot bearing could be preventing the transmission to shift while the engine is running.

If the problem is isolated to one particular gear or several gears (but not all gears), it could be synchros and / or gears could be damaged.
