1, Dismantle clutch
2, Clean clutch plates
3, Check clutch basket ribs for slots (caused by the plates) replace if bad
4, reassemble and use fresh correct oil

If its still faulty consult a mechanic

So, it is not disengaging when you pull the h/bar lever in?

To go from working to not working is very strange. Something is broke or stuck. We need more info. Does the h/bar lever pull in smoothly/normally?

 if the plates catch in the basket they wont release
 If its not that its open her up and have a look time

Might be a broken clutch rod? Definately dismantle and check everything is where it should be etc.
