I feel so horrible for this, I believe this was my fault. She was stuck in a cramped spot and I must have tried to pull her and the tight space caught her skin. Please tell me what I can do. I don’t have the funds to take to a vet right now, so I’m just trying to figure out the best I personally can do for her. I just feel horrible this looks painful..

A vet visit would be ideal, but in the mean time you’re going to need to setup a quarantine tank. Paper towels for bedding and make sure there is nothing rough in the enclosure. To clean the area apply a bit of diluted iodine (should be the color of a weak tea) and follow with neosporin cream (must be free of pain relievers/numbing aid)

This is very helpful advice. I’d clean it with saline first then follow with diluted iodine
