Hi, i acidentally hit myself in the face with a frying pan while washing it and the edge of it hit my nose straight on, it's red and swollen and starting to bruise, and also makes a crunching sound when i touch it. does it mean it's broken?

Most likely bruised: The area is comprised of soft tissue and the trauma resulted in bleeding under the surface of the skin. Apply a cool compress to that area for 20 minutes at a time , several times in the next day. Avoid pressing or touching the area. Bruises typically will resolve slowly over the next week or two. If there is persistent pain or swelling, please see urgent care or your physician.
