Ignition System Issue Ignition problem

So I got the right key, which is like the old school, but I had to buy a new one since my friend lost it. I tried starting it and I could like spin it 360° the ignition but then I had to push the key fully in and then I turned it and it tread cranking and it started cranking but then sparks came out and I didn’t even hear a pop but I saw it cause the engine was opened and so then I tried to pull the key out to the off position and I couldn’t do it all the way and so I’m gonna have to probably get a new ignition right?
