What the hell is the problem? Do I need a new battery?

The problem is you bought an apple product
You have probably knocked the connector for the battery loose. If you are repair savvy, check the battery in your iPhone. If not. Get it repaired/replaced.
>having an apple product
I think I found your problem OP.
try smacking it a bit more. Im sure it will solve the problem

someone else suggested on a different thread that the battery itself may have been disconnected or damaged. what are the odds of that vs what you suggested?
