Check to see if your needle plate is gouged or signs that the needle is hitting the plate. If so, you may be pulling a little too hard when the fabric is feeding. Sometimes when you pull too hard, it pulls the needle back and it will hit the plate instead of going into the needle hole and you will break needles. Try just letting the fabric feed itself and you simply guide it to make sure it stays in a straight line.

there should be a little hand screw near the top of the needle, loosen it enough to slide the broken needle out, replace with a new needle and tighten, Just remember, if you don't have the needle in properly you will ave issues. Usually, the flat part of the needle goes to the right, I have a brother sewing machine and the flat part on mune goes to the back though. Just take note when you remove the old needle as to the position. Also, a little known fact, a sewing machine needle should be replaced after 8 hours of use.
First thing change your needle, now clean out your bobbin case with a brush and oil as your manual instructs. Part of the broken needle may be inside your machine
check to make sure that all the broke needle has been removed make sure there is no part of the broken needle in the bobbin area try putting in a new needle & see if the machine will sew make sure the bobbin is not damaged it's very possible since the needle broke the machine could have jumped time I suggest to have the machine checked to see if the broken needle caused any damage to the machine
That's ok, needles get bent all the time and sometimes broken too. Just give it a new needle (look on the shaft at the top of the needle, you should see a screw to loosen for removing the needle). Note that the needle is made with a flat side on the shank to locate it properly, watch how the bent one is positioned when you remove it.
