2006 Mitsubishi Triton is not moving when in gear
If the engine is running well, but the car won’t move in gear when you take your foot off the clutch, it’s very likely that your clutch has failed. The clutch is responsible for transferring power from the engine to the gearbox and, if it wears out, it can no longer do so and the vehicle will just sit there and not move even when you take your foot off the clutch pedal and the car is in gear.
You noted that the car had previously seemed to lose power, but this was more likely to be the start of the clutch failing and not transferring all the power it should have been. Eventually, though, the failure became total and no power is getting through to the gearbox (and, therefore, the wheels).
A new clutch is the likely fix but make sure to check the flywheel for damage and wear while the car is apart.

What should I do if my 2011 Mitsubishi Triton makes a grinding noise when changing gears?
Mitsubishi’s manual gearboxes from around this time (and earlier) were some of the noisiest around. But usually it wasn’t anything to be concerned about. Bearing rumble and some clutch bearing noise were pretty much par for the course, but your problem sounds more like it’s associated with the gearbox’s synchromesh rings. These rings are designed to allow the gearbox to slip between ratios smoothly and silently, and any crunching noises during shifts can often be traced to worn synchromesh parts.
The good news is you won’t harm the transmission by continuing to drive it, particularly if you’re careful and take your time with the shifts you know are most likely to create a crunch. If you can live with that, fine. If not, the gearbox will need to be removed from the car and rebuilt. That will be neither cheap nor simple.

Mitsubishi Triton: Drop in power
I would be looking at the fuel supply, the filters, fuel pump, and the fuel itself. If the performance generally has dropped off I would also be looking at the turbocharger.

I would agree with the dealer's diagnosis of carbon build-up and cleaning it will probably fix it.
