My car won't go into any gear, do I need a new clutch?

What is your question?

I have a ford escort station wagon. It started making a weird noise today. I had been driving for 5 miles, made 2 stops. I drove for about 2 more miles, came to a four way stop and it wouldn't go into gear. When the car was turned off though I could put it into gear. Do I need a new clutch?
