Youve probably sorted it by now but if not I would advise:

Get someone to move the pedal back and forth while you view the end of the throttle cable in the engine bay. (It attaches to cam shaped part on the side of the throttle body).
Does the cable move back and forth?

* If its not moving then the inner cable has either snapped or come off the pedal inside the car.

* If it is moving, its likely the problem is located near the before mentioned throttle body.
It could be that the retaining nut has come loose and the cable outer is now moving free. Or could be that the return spring has snapped.
