For starters, my built-in flash won't pop up. When I go to flash control and try to config built-in flash, it says that I can't do that because there is an external flash connected (but there isn't!). Any ideas wtf my camera is doing? :(

There's a pin in your hotshoe that's stuck down... under the "lip"

There is a small pin under the spring plate in the hotshoe that presses a button when there is a flash in the shoe. This pin gets stuck down and does not pop back up when the flash is removed and the camera thinks the flash is still there.Get a toothpick or some other small item and see if you can coax the pin to pop up. I do not have my camera handy but I seem to remember it being in the front right corner of the shoe.
