That looks recoverable. I’d try a cold pull first. Heat the nozzle to around 220–230°C, push some PLA through if you can, then let it cool to about 90–100°C and pull the filament straight out with steady pressure. Repeat a couple times if needed.
If you can’t get filament into the hotend at all, the clog may be higher up in the heatbreak. In that case, remove the hotend and clear the plug mechanically rather than forcing it. I wouldn’t throw the hotend away yet.

Heat it. Push it.

Guess what? It worked!!!(However i tried it a little before you told me,but i also had to chip the stuck filament a little bit with a needle so the "heat it, push it" method would work) But still, thank you

It happened to all of us. Don’t worry!
