hi there, you seem to have seriously injured your arm and hand and I would advise you to go to the ER and let the doctor take a look and if required get ax-ray done. For the time being make a sling with a bandage strip or with your belt or a long string and rest your arm in it at an elevated level. You could take an antinflammatory to relieve the pain but get seen by a doctor as soon as possible. Take care.
