Lots more pics are needed. There are several different ways they come apart. Take pics of the area where the wheel axel attach to the fork. Also what is inside the "adjuster" caps, a pair channel locks and a rag can take them off fairly easy.

Like you said, it's a cheapo bike. Those forks probably come apart but are really meant to be a throw away part rather than a serviceable one.

Name brand fork will have manuals with diagrams and part numbers for rebuilds.

Best bet for those is to find a second cheapo broken bike with good forks and swap them over. Been a bit since I've been into bikes but should be a standard 1-1/8" steer tube.

On the bottom of one of the stems should be a retension bolt by the axle. Remove it. Fork housing will slide off from the crown and stem posts.

I had the same problem an it ended up being a stress fracture. Check for cracks. They can be really hard to see.

Normally an alan bolt in the bottom of the fork. Just spatter the inner sliders with grease. The lube they come with dries out and leaks away over time.

I'd just toss the cheapo suspension and run some rigid forks. They probably work so crappy that they're not helping anyway.
