Hey guys. I’m pretty new to all of this. Sort of wondering what exactly is bent here. Chain ring? Spindle? Crank? Had a pretty nasty fall a few years ago and I am just getting around to it. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Given all chainrings are moving in unison, it is likely the spindle. But since this is a square taper, you will likely need a new bottom bracket.
Yeah, it’s time for a new bb mate
Yes, it looks like your bottom bracket is toast.
First thing I’d see if the crank arm may not be fully seated on the bb.
OP: Your issue sounds like the one I just posted: https://www.reddit.com/r/bikewrench/s/V7JeO98qNT.
