Hi I broke the touch feature and cracked the screen on my laptop by accident. Is it worth it to get that fixed or just buy a new laptop?

Have you cracked the LCD, the bit that shows the colours and stuff? It looks like an ink stain on the screen if you break it.

Touchscreen components are normally cheap enough and easy to replace, if the whole LCD is gone it mightn't be worth it.

Depends on the laptop too of course, what make and model is it?

Very little detail to go on. What model, how old, how expensive or cheap is the laptop. Did you check youtube for possible repair tips?

If you are non techie, probably best to consider new laptop.
