Locked out of all gears?

Locked out of all gears?
Yesterday I realized my clutch pedal was acting funny, it was catching really low, when it normally catches high. It travels down really easily, but is slow when coming back up. I filled up the clutch master cylinder reservoir with DOT 3 brake fluid(it was empty before), let it sit for a while, then tried to drive around the block to see if it fixed it. Well, I'm now locked out of every gear. What went wrong? The clutch was fine a few days ago, I didn't do any burnouts or anything lol.
EDIT: I'm absolutely lost. There are no clear or specific instructions, even in the Haynes manual. Where exactly am I letting the air out from? I've tried loosening the upper and lower valves but the nuts do not budge one bit.

You might have a leaking hose near the slave cylinder. Or a bad slave. Not fun to bleed.
Many of us have installed a stainless steel hose which connects the slave cylinder directly to the clutch master cylinder. Doing that by-passes all of the failure prone lines which Nissan cursed us with.
Intrusions in the stickies.
