Default clutch question

this morning my car felt kind of weird. engaging my clutch at 1st was strange. i had to push down on the accelerator a lot to get the car moving. in other gears, my rpms were fine, but my mph were off. i was reving but the car wasnt going as it usually does. my friend told me that my problem was that my clutch was slipping. i thought it was just the temp, because it was pretty hot today.

if, lets say in 4th gear im at around 6000rpms, i would be at 40mph. if indeed this is a clutch failure. is it safe for me to drive around? or should i take it to get inspected asap?

It also could be sticking brake calipers. This happened on my car. Either situation is not good.
