 * CSS does not belong in functions.php
 * If you don’t have a backup, download a fresh copy of your theme to your PC, unzip,
   and upload/replace the file you edited via FTP.

 * This is outside your website. Go to wherever you got the colormag theme (probably
   here: [https://wordpress.org/themes/colormag/](https://wordpress.org/themes/colormag/))
   and download it again. Then, unzip it. Upload it to your site (in wp-content/
   themes) using FTP, replacing the files you modified.

 * Windows should be able to unzip a file.
 * Your host should have instructions on how to set up an ftp client (e.g., filezilla)
   to connect to your hosting account. Please contact their tech support. It appears
   you’re hosting at namecheap.com
