Why does my rpm shoot up when I accelerate?

If your RPM fluctuates while accelerating, it could be because your spark plugs have gone bad on you. Worn-out spark plugs can cause misfires to occur within your engine, and those misfires can lead to your engine vibrating a whole lot. Those vibrations can lead to the RPM in your engine going haywire on you.

What does high RPMs but won’t pick up speed mean?

It doesn’t sound like clutch slipping, if that was the case the rpms would skyrocket while your speed stayed the same. It sounds to me like your vehicle is in limp mode. If that was the case it would be throwing some sort of codes for sure and I’m guessing you would have a warning light.
