I don't know what to do and I am feeling a lot of stress about the situation. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you!

Pictures coming.

from what you described it sounds like you stripped the main gear of the motor. The same happened to my team2395 in 2012 on our bridge manipulator. You either have to change out the gear or replace the entire window motor, but that will be a temporary fix because it will strip again if you don't change the way in which you rotate the shaft.
