How do I even begin to fix my Moen tub/shower faucet?

The other day when I turned the water off after my shower there was a little leaking so I jiggled the handled and it stopped for the most part. It did it again and did not stop fully for a while. I kept messing with it and it stopped. Well today I went to turn off the water and it would not turn off. I kept jiggling and moving it around and was quite in a state of oh now what. Well I have no idea how I turned it off finally, but now it will not come back on at all. Sinks in the house work and other things, but not the bathtub/shower. I have no plumbing skills and really do not have the money to spend hundreds or thousands on a fix if it is actually something I could fix myself. So I am reaching out to here with hope someone could point, lead, draw me a picture or something. Please help if you can. I am desperate. I can live without a lot of things but not a shower. It is an older Moen set.

Many faucets have cartridges inside. You can take off the handle, remove the cartridge and take it to a plumbing supply store for a match. Make sure you shut off your water at the main before doing this
