Gotta be more specific. Will it go into gear? If in gear and you release the clutch pedal it goes nowhere?

Try moving the clutch fork by hand. If you can, pull it all backapart.

The throwout bearing can be put in backwards, or the bearing lever can be messed up. If you reach down at the slave cylinder you can take the rubber cover off the lever and peak inside. See if the lever looks correct, with it's retaining clip. Can the lever be moved by hand? If it's loose you need to pull the transmission and redo it.
