clutch or not

my 1998 f150 4x4 has a 5 speed in it with a 4.6L.
i can put it in gear and it will move at a high rpm moving very slow
i can only get about 60kms out of it.

If the engine runs normally, the clutch is done.
Have the flywheel resurfaced when you do the clutch, and inspect the clutch hydraulics for leakage. A common cause for toasted clutches is a hydraulic problem (slave cylinder usually) that doesn't allow full clutch release. If not corrected, the new clutch gets fried too.

If you were stuck in low range, you'd know it. what happens when you move the transfer case selector?

Your range fork is likely busted or worn right through. Pull the drain plug and inspect the oil...if there is any left that is, lol.

The range fork is in the transfer case. It's the one that selects between high and low range. If the stick is in 2 wheel drive mode but the transfer case is in 4 wheel low then I'd have to say there is a problem with the transfer case....or linkage?
