Hi Sara,

It most likely means that your clutch is slipping. It means when your clutch is engaging and disengaging and no power is delivered to the wheels and as a result, the car will not move forward. In other words the revs will increase without the car accelerating. The clutch will fail due to the wear and tear and also from driving habits and driving conditions.
