I don't know what to do. I'm in the middle of class typing this on my phone.I tried to use Abrowser and I got a pop up that said abrowser was already running. In a terminal i tried to do killall abrowser but it said no process found. I could not make abrowser run. So I tried to reboot but it wont do that. I type my password to decrypt my hard drive and that works but then it goes to a busybox prompt that I cannot get part because I'm ignorant of busybox and I don't know what I'm supposed to be doing there. 'Continue' does not do anything. 'Exit' shows a loading bar for a millionth of a second before going back to the busybox screen again. I really need to get back to doing my homework and I'm really lost. I don't understand what to do. I really need help. Please. Thank you for any advice.

Something similar happened to me (the initramfs thing) with Trisquel 8 a few months ago. The solution here[1] fixed the problem for me.

(initramfs) fsck /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-root

Then again, I was more or less blindly trying things until something worked and never actually understood what the problem was, so maybe you should wait for someone smarter than I to respond before trying anything.

Can you use tab completion to see what is inside /dev/mapper or /dev?

What is the output of `cat /proc/cmdline`?

Don't you have a live system you could boot and do your urgent homework in?

This is probably the best solution for now.

So here's what actually worked. I changed

fsck /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-root

to

fsck /dev/mapper/trisquel--vg-root

And I got my system back.
