I was able to tighten the chain by using a video on youtube in that seem to how books at least some of the circumstances I still can't help but think I feel of some sort of a slap up against something if there is somebody in this area who would be willing to take my bike for just a short little cruz and tell me what they think if something is broken or if i'm just being overly sensitive since i'm such a novice rider

I would make sure that everything is OK before riding more than 400 miles back home.
Let's call @az3200, who lives in Orlando. @Nickheath19 @saxnbass If you can take some pictures of the problematic area, we may be able to walk you through the process of troubleshooting.

When was your chain last cleaned & lubed? As you say it's loose and don't know how to adjust it; I'm guessing a seized link or three from lack of maintenance? Sorry to be presumptuous but it's a common type of situation.
It's not a criticism, it's how we learn.

If it's clunking after proper adjustment then you may have a stretched or seized link and you have to replace your chain before it breaks. It's also messing up your sprockets, if this is the case. If it snaps, it can whip forward and damage your motor by cracking a hole in casing. I've seen it happen. That's why they sell engine case savers.

This is what I was going to say. You're supposed to be lubing and checking chain slack every few tanks of gas. It sounds like you've never done it, which hints that there might be a problem with the chain now.
