Clutch Tranny issue??

Hey all, I have a 99 ram 3500 5sp 4x4. The truck had its clutch replaced at 150K it now has around 188K on it. Today while sitting at a stop light the truck began lurching while it was in gear. Clutch pedal was to the floor, and it started pulling. I barely was able to get the ignition shutoff before I ran into the vehicle in front of me. I could not pull it out of gear to save my life. All the way home I could feel something diff. in the clutch pedal, kinda like it was engaging the clutch on the floor. Sorry for asking this here in the 911 section but I am suppose to be heading out of town tomorrow morning. And if possible I need to fix it tonight. I did smell something burning during my ride home (unsure what it was) I checked the clutch resevoir when I got home and it was full. No new leaks on the ground that I could see. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
