Does it shift into gear at all, or just grind?
If it doesn't shift at all now, but did shift well before, it may be the disc is rust stuck to the flywheel. Sometimes they can be broken loose by driving with the clutch depressed and rapidly changing the throttle. Once broken loose it should return to normal. Blocking the clutch down between uses will prevent this.
If it grinds only on the initial shift, it could be as simple as idling too fast. Also low oil level in the transmission will cause the transmission to free spin longer than usual. The oil acts as a damper. Old oil will not be a factor, but if it's water contaminated it needs changing.
Moderate drag, but still useable is usually a sign of a worn clutch, failing pressure plate, a failing pilot bearing, or failing release linkage as Royce said.
If you replace the clutch, be careful not to let the weight of the engine hang on the input shaft, and do not attempt to force the engine and transmission to mate up by tightening the bolts. Either can damage a new clutch!
