Default Jeep problems. Help!!!

had to have my jk towed home today. Trying to get some advise from you guys. So here's what went down. Today I took the jeep for a little drive around town. I have a manual transmission btw. So I was at a red light and I put the jeep in neutral and took my foot off the clutch. When the light turned green I pushed the clutch down , put it into first gear and the jeep would not move. The clutch pedal feels fine and the shifter feels fine. Then I noticed that the jeep would start to very slowly creep forward when in gear and giving it some gas, but barely. Not enough to drive it. No weird noises or smells. Seems to me that the clutch is not engaging for some reason. Any advise would be awesome!!

Sounds like your clutch is gone, and not engaging. It could also be just your throw out bearing, a mechanic has to get in there to be certain.

Check the fluid level in the slave cylinder. If the reservoir (under the hood) is low, it can cause the issue you are experiencing.
