Seriously...

Ever heard of a local bike shop? Heard of the Internet and online shops?

Google?

How did you get here to begin with?

You have broken your rear axle. It takes some special tools (freewheel remover and cone wrenches) to replace. The simplest thing that you can do is to take your bike to a local bike shop.

+1 They can replace your axle pretty easily. I bought an axle at my LBS for about $5, and it shouldn't take more than 10 minutes to replace for a competent mechanic.
