The first thing I'd do, is leave it running.
When it is hot, I'd work the clutch until it releases.

Check that the front sprocket nut hasn't come adrift allowing the sprocket to slip off the splines before stripping the clutch.
If the sprocket isn't the cause then slackening the clutch pushrod adjuster should enable the plates to bite under normal circumstances.
If that doesn't work then there's something jammed or broken in either the pushrod or clutch pack.

Have a decco through the oil filler hole see whats happening,sometimes a bit off careful prising with a broad blade driver can free up stuck plates...
