Just moved my car off the drive and my foot slipped off the clutch pedal and i stalled the car. Went to start it back up and it like struggled to fire up. When i had started the engine i tried putting it into reverse but it wouldnt go in it took me at least 5 attempts of putting it into reverse gear till it eventually went in.

That's two problems not one.

Trouble starting could be the battery or slight flood although without hearing it that's difficult to tell.

Trouble selecting reverse may mean the linkage or clutch needs adjusting or replacing for the clutch. Put it in first before going to reverse should help you a bit.

It'd turn over at normal speed but not fire. As opposed to if the battery is flat it would turn over slower.
