Sounds like you landed too fast and possibly not straght either and hit the nose wheel which may have sent the rudder pedals off.

Most new pilots land way too fast (usually because some instructor has given them a "safe" speed).

Go out with an experienced pilot or instructor and do some slow flying, then do a few landings.

Did you have full flap on and a bit of forward trim when trying to take off?

Under normal situatiions any C172 should fly well before 60 KIAS
