The pilot will stay lit as long as I have the switch pushed down. Once I release the switch, the pilot light goes out. I have tried to hold down the pilot as much as possible and turn the switch to the run position, but I can not keep a flame.

It sounds like a thermocouple has gone bad. this is a very common problem with gas powered things ie; water heaters, furnaces, hot tubs. The telltale sign is when you release the pilot light button it won't stay lit. This is a safety feature and is relatively inexpensive and easy to repair.
