This sounds like an error that can be fixed in the database options table.
Can you get access to the webhosting account which contains the database tables?
Directions to get the URL back to what is was originally.
Changing the URL directly in the database

Pretty sure I do, I asked him for the credentials. Once I get, what should I change in the database?
Hi
Log into the cPanel account.
Click on the “phpMyAdmin” icon within the “Databases” section.
Expand the database associated with the WordPress installation and select the “wp_options” table.
Search for “siteurl” within the “option_name” column and click the “Edit” link on the same row.
now change it back to the original one.
Click the “Go” button when done.

Directions to adjust URL….
Changing the URL directly in the database
https://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL
step 1-get the URL back to the original by changing in database
be sure you can access WP-Admin dashboard
be sure you can access the proper folders with plugins, themes, wp-includes, wp-admin etc. via FTP/SFTP
create a backup of database and files
step 2-decide what the appropriate new URL is for the website — change in the database
be sure you can access WP-Admin dashboard
be sure you can access the proper folders with plugins, themes, wp-includes, wp-admin etc. via FTP/SFTP
create a backup of database and files
Still couldnt fix it. The website is hosted on DigitalOcean, so I have to do this through linux and command line (which I suck). Filezilla cant connect. I guess I have to change wp-config.php?
A friend help me out. Thanks for letting me know about wp-config 🙂
