You didn't break your guitar! All you need is a simple truss rod adjustment. The truss rodd is a metal rod that runs inside the neck and is adjustable either at the headstock or the bottom of the fretboard. Your truss rod needs 'relaxed' or loosened because its causing the neck to bow up to the strings causing 'fret-buzz'. I recomend taking it to the store in which you bought it, the should do it for free, or take it to any good shop and they may charge alittle, but your guitar will be happy! Don't mess with the bridge or raise the strings!

sounds like your strings are too loose and hitting the fretboard, you may need to raise the action on it from the bridge-especially if it is happening on all the strings

Insufficient information for a diagnosis here. I recommend you take it to an expert for examination - it might be minor, but something you need to do. Hope its minor.
