These are 2 examples. My pictures that I usually took were nice and clear. When I used the zoom I was able to also see the picture clear. Now my pictures are blurry from afar, blurry when I zoom in after the shot or both. How do I fix it?

Looks more like low light and noise, than blur. Were you shooting in low light, maybe too far away for your camera's tiny flash to carry? It also appears that you were shooting at a high ISO, which compacts can't handle very well. Try getting closer to your subject, and using your camera's lowest ISO, or at least no higher than 200.

Low light and noise, plus you were at a pretty slow shutter speed (1/60) for the zoom (longest) in that first picture.
