Jup nope, i think the axle is broken. I bet that is not fixable.
You learned today why the freehub upon its introduction made the freewheel obsolete.
You broke the axle, which was probably already fractured before you got started. It’s certainly possible to fix it, but typically the better option is to simply acquire a new wheel.
Take this to your local bike shop. They will have different tools to try and troubleshoot. From what I can see, this might be a cassette and the freewheel tool could have acted like a collet to remove the axle and socket head bolt that holds the bearings in. They will know how to get this off
