Yeah, it's broke. I just answered the same question about a day ago. The problem with digi cams is that the lens is very delicate, and all the internal parts and focusing systems break very easily. The only way to fix it is by repair, which will probably be much more than just buying a new camera.

R.I.P. Canon Powershot A550. It is now a paperweight.
Repairs - at your expense - will likely cost more than a new camera. You may begin shopping for a new camera.
Get a good neck strap or wrist strap for your new camera. I am constantly appalled by people walking around carrying their camera as though it was a loaf of bread. In 36 years I have yet to drop a camera. Mine is either hanging around my neck, on a tripod or in my camera bag.
