Stuck clutch on Viggen. Sitting for 5 years.

Hi Everybody,
It's been a long time since I've been around these parts. My 1999 Viggen (3-dr blue) has been sitting in my driveway for about 5 years without moving. I know, I know, I know. I had broke my leg and couldn't drive a manual car. I had to get another car and now I'm finally getting back around to it.
I'm trying to resurrect the car now. I charged the battery, got rid of the old gas, changed the oil and spark plugs and refilled the coolant. The car starts great BUT the clutch pedal goes right to the floor with no resistance. I can only start the car in neutral.
I'm not sure what to do now to diagnose if the clutch plate is frozen to the fly wheel or if its the throwout bearing or something else.
Anybody ever go through this or have any suggestions? Thanks in advance!
I hope to get the old girl rolling around the driveway so I can get her cleaned up and get her to a proper garage for a once over.
