I tripped over my amp chord while it was in, and
First, try a different cable. Often in this kind of accident, the connection is broken between the wires in the cable and the plug on the end of the cable. (The cable can often be repaired by soldering the wires back onto the plug.)
If that doesn't help, it's possible the input jack on your amp was damaged. It is a relatively simple job for an amp technician to repair or replace an input jack if this is the problem. Expect about 1 hour of labor and about $10 in parts.
Need to replace output jack and plate
If this is a classic guitar you should take the fretboard problem to a luthier as you could de-value the unit by working on it yourself.
The jack you can replace yourself. Just connect the wires to the new one the way they came off the old one. There are ONLY two wires. You can get replacement jack from severaal sources.

There should be two wires connected. One goes to the jack tip while the other goes to ground. One lug on the jack is connected to the part touching the sleeve on your cable while the other will contact you cable's tip. There is another wire in there somewhere.

Guitar astat
To me this is a natural reaction to having the volume all the way up, when you touch the strings your stopping any vibration from taking place there by stopping the static, or the other problem could be that your pickups are set up much to close to your strings, try to lower them and see what happens, a bad cord could also be the culprite.
Getting Static noise when plugged in to amp
This is a very common problem that I have repaired for many friends. Sometimes the guitar jack becomes loose and gets rotated to the point where the wire breaks and/or touches the cord plug when it's inserted into the jack. You need to remove the access plate/panel at the back of the guitar body and see if the wire is broke or twisted. You may only have to loosen the jack retaining nut and rotate the jack to get the twist out or you may have to remove the jack and resolder the wire back in place. If its broke make sure to solder back on the proper terminal--the one with solder already on it and not the one that the cord plug touches when its inserted. Retighten the jack nut by firmly holding the jack from access side so it doesn't rotate again and cause that undesirable STATIC sound. Hope this helps.
