Ok, so basically, I'm stupid and I threw my phone at my desk and it made a clap sound and the screen starting going into like a gameboy type look. Then it just went black, 3d touch and eveyrhting still works I just can't see anything.
Please help.
Is this a good question?

You need a new display assembly. I'm not sure how much Apple is currently charging for that. We're getting closer to this being a positive option, but I would check it out. Also this

You killed the backlight. best option is to take it to apple and have them replace it for you. if its under applecare it should be free.

what do you reckon it would be if it's not under applecare, I purchased the phone on january 2nd so I don't know if it's still under warranty or anything.
Not sure, also not sure what apple charges. You might not have damaged the backlight and just the cable, but take it to apple and if they charge you more than $300 its probably cheaper and better to just buy the new screen here at iFixit and replace it your self
Also, since you hear the sound, something could have broken which can be a more costly fix

Unlikely, but possible that the lcd connector has popped out. If lcd backlight is broken, again possible but unlikely, given the construction, you will be able to see the lcd display picture under a strong flood light.
If under warranty your best option is to take it to Apple. You maybe able to get it fixed for free if the damage is only internal.
