It's not stuck. I would get the temp up, and then "swirl" the trub, in case the yeast have settled out. They don't die, they settle out. Racking to secondary would also do this, but I would purposely pull some of the trub over.

I was doing a weekly brewing cycle, and instead of pitching new yeast, I over pitched the wort straight into the previous weeks fermenter. I would rack to secondary, and let the beer "settle" in secondary for 2 weeks.

Primary was a 6 gallon carboy, secondaries were 5 gallon. I used glass. Always a blowoff in primary (after mopping the ceiling at 5AM one morning...)
