I fucked up guys, i broke my window and need to change it, since it's freezing here.
It costs around 1000 dollars including the window, i feel i'm getting ripped off, and can do it much cheaper myself. How do I do this?
Do any of you have any experience with this? It should be doable
Just the glas or the whole frame ?

Depends on the window... Single pane. Or double pane. Or triple... Basically single is pretty easy. Double is doable. And triple is lolreplacethewhole window jam.
Get a staple gun, some large pieces of cardboard, and some large pieces of thick plastic.
It's a temporary fix at best.

Add caulk and duct tape to make it permanent.

Something tells me that it's going to create a moisture problem with the hot air of the house on one side and the cold on the outside.

Add something to absorb the moisture, like sawdust

Might aswell build a wall there and forget the window

Remove house. No more hole in wall.
On a serious note op, if single pane, slap a sheet of glass in it, cauk around the sides, cover with wood trim (typically quarter round).
If multi layer glass, do step one, get a small hollow needle like those used to inflate balls or such, sit the second pane on top of the needle, caulk the pane, then pump argon gas through the needle till local atmospheric pressure, then pull the needle out, and repeat till last pane, and leave the last pane with air behind it.

Post pics. You might be able to fix it with lexan and silicone sealer.

There's really no need for argon,no big difference to air, it won't convect if the space is thin enough.
OP just use air but put some desiccant in there so you don't get moisture condensing inside.
