Says it's charging, though it is still off and saying it is at 0%

So, at my school, somehow I had lost my phone. I didn't realize until I was already at home. The next day, I tracked it, and I got it back from the office, and supposedly I had lost it in my 1st period. As soon as i had it in my hands I could tell something was up. I found that it doesn't fit in the case like it used to, it was sticking out a little weirdly, and when i took the case off, I saw a bunch of dents on the sides of it. But the weirdest part is when I tried to charge it. First, it took a little bit more effort to put the charger in, and then, usually it wakes up and shows me that it's charging and it shows what percentage it was at. It did that, though it was at 0% (which it never is, it's always at 1% as the lowest) and even though I've been waiting a while, it will not say that the percentage is increasing. Plus, it wont even say it is charging until I pop the back off of my phone a little bit, then it will say it's charging.

Please help?

I would say that it sounds like it suffered a serious drop or impact. Maybe someone stepped on it? Sounds like some of the internals are broken and/or shorted. I would recommend taking it off the charger immediately. If the battery is damaged or shorted, it could be a fire hazard. :o
