Lots of good folks on here willing to help...but we need more info. If you can post a picture of the rod, perhaps someone will be able to see if it has just come loose or actually is broken.
From your description, the rod bent/broke when you were pushing the valve closed. Hopefully the valve itself isn't damaged, but, something caused it to bind. If you are handy with tools, the valve is not difficult to replace - just messy.
