Could be a number of things. Manual car? Clutch, trans input shaft, trans output shaft or diff output shaft are all possibly breakage points. I'd look at the diff output shaft if it's not dumping oil from a broken rear end and not making funny noises when you press the clutch pedal.

Its very likely a broken differential output shaft. Jack up the rear-end.

Have someone hold one rear wheel and try to turn the other wheel. If if either one of the wheel free spins, you have differential output shaft or limited slip clutch failure and a busted output shaft.

Just so you can get an idea of how the differential is constructed and some ides how to fix it and maybe beef it up, check out these post:
