So as i was driving in my car i heard a loud bang coming from my front right wheel so i pulled over and all i saw was that now my wheel is camber and it is not safe driving over thirty mph because when the wheel is moving everything shakes.
Sorry for my bad English, clearly is not my first language.
Please help me i do not want risking going to the garage and never actually get there. Thanks in advance.

Try jacking the car up off the ground and shake the wheel by hand, obviously something broke or came loose in there. You should be able to see any parts that are causing this. and do not drive it if you feel it is unsafe. it sounds like maybe one of the control arms or ball joint let go. get the car off the ground and see what is going on with that tire. be safe though, use a jack stand also for safety once you have jacked it up.
