Driving to work, go to down shift and the pedal dropped to the floor, I managed to drive back home in second.
What else do I need to replace if any thing? Is this a sign of a worn clutch?

Slave.
It's a guess - but the clutch? It still holds enough for you to put power to the wheels, so it's probably not the clutch.
BUT, since you're gonna be doing the slave anyway, why not replace the clutch, pressure plate and throwout bearing? Might as well finish the job you're gonna start...

Obviously I would want to replace them with new right? Or I could buy Skolnicks used and hope they
last as long as my aging clutch? I think a buddy and I can do the slave and master, but I dont want to mess with the clutch itself. I would let a mechanic do that.

you might find out you have broken the rod into the master cylinder, seems pretty commen
if your clutch pedal feels heavy compared to other cars you drive, then it's likely that a worn heavy clutch killed your master cylinder, and replacing just the cylinder and not clutch only buys you a little time before you brake something else.
these are things you want to get new
