My chest feels like there is an elephant stepping on it and i keep coughing and constantly clearing my throat and my throat is scratchy and got chills?

Probably bronchitis : You probably have a chest infection with resulting asthma like symptoms ( the elephant feeling on your chest ). If you weren't so young there would also be concern that symptom could represent concern for your heart. You need to see a doctor and most likely get an antibiotic and meds for better breathing.
