My point is that maybe your clutch cable might be too twisted & not allowing the clutch to activate properly... or maybe there's some other problem that someone here can easily spot in a picture... But it's extremely hard to diagnose just from your vague original post. :(

Anyways... I hope someone else here (who's better at reading minds through the internet) will jump in & figure out the problem for you... (without the help of pictures).... Good luck! (^)

We messaged at the same time iam not mechanically inclined but getting better appreciate you trying to read my mind but like I said I didn't know how to explain it
 
The link works Norm, but is 12yrs old and the photos are gone and so is poor KC.
Somebody with time and patience should rework GearNut's how to thread with photo's.
Then again. these days there are YouTube's for just about anything.

how do I do that maybe have to get a new cable cause all the nuts are adjusted all the way out

You can shorten the cable jacket to get more length out of the cable and put a new end on it... Start fresh with the nuts all the way in then pull the cable tight making sure the ends fit into the pockets then get it together and lock it down... Have a friend hold the cable with plyers as you lock it down... You should feel the slightest bit of tension on it

I have it locked on last slot the back wheel will not turn is it my cable or clutch and how do I fix it

Those kind of clutch levers are total junk and either won't allow the clutch to completely disengage or you have to hold it in to get it there... The type with the locking button is going to open up the clutch more and keep it there and work like it should...
