Without knowing which generation iphone you have we can't give the exact answer but it sounds like you have disconnected or damaged the dock connector. You will need to look through the devices to the right and then select the phone/guide you need. There are differences in 3g/3gs/4g so you will need to use whichever guide, open your phone and check the connections to the motherboard and if that doesn't work you may need to replace the dock connector.

I am unsure what any of that is and how to do it. I am baffled and have no money, so I cannot go to the apple store to check it. What do I do?

First, try a force restart, even though the home button isn’t working. For iPhones with a home button, press and hold both the Home and Power buttons at the same time until the Apple logo appears—this might help reset the device. If your phone isn’t charging, check the charging port for any debris or visible damage. Sometimes dust or lint can block the connection, so give it a gentle clean and try a different cable or charger to rule out any issues with the accessories. If you notice physical damage to the screen or internal components from the fall, it’s likely something that will need to be repaired by a professional. At this point, it might be best to take it to a certified repair shop, especially if the issues persist. A local repair shop could fix it, often for less than Apple would charge. I know it’s super frustrating, but hopefully, it’ll be something fixable with a little help!

nikki, which iPhone do you have? have you tried a reset? Hold the sleep/wake button at the top right and the home button at the bottom center at the same time. Hold them both until the screen goes black. Wait until the Apple logo appears. When that happens, you can let go.

This worked! "Hold the sleep/wake button at the top right and the home button at the bottom center at the same time. Hold them both until the screen goes black. Wait until the Apple logo appears. When that happens, you can let go."
