I finally got my bike working so I hoped on it and drove around town but when I stopped I noticed that my chain is broken (not at master link) also when I pedaled to go uphill I felt it being harder to pedal at some moments, I have locked rear derailleur and bike is 24 speed. So anyone knows what tf did happen? When I was going downhill engine started normally

Rivet came loose and fell out.
I had that happen to one where I took one out to shorten the chain and put it back in.

But while pedaling this bike there were moments when I felt chain getting stiff and while after I heard it pop, So rivet still could be a reason or something else?

If it would get tight in certain spots on the chain the rivit could have been too tight
 
If a chain breaks that fast it's just cheap metal and construction techniques.
