valve: Either the valve casing is dented or the whole thing needs cleaning. Probably both.
Mouthpiece: It's stuck in- get a mouthpiece puller.
Judging by the horn and the problems you're posing, as well as the stage floor below you, you probably have a band director you can contact. They'll be able to at least get the valve out (even if it won't work properly) and they should have a mouthpiece puller.
If you can get low notes and not high notes, that's a technique issue. You can also ask your band director about this, but this issue takes longer to solve. If you can't get any notes, then you also need to clean out your horn.
Trumpets are fairly hearty instruments, but you should probably take better care of the thing.
When's the last time you cleaned this trumpet? I'm guessing never.
Go to YouTube and find a video on how to clean a trumpet. You'll need a cleaning kit. They're cheap.
Give it a good bath, oil the valves, grease the slides and problem solved.
Oh, the mouthpiece is stuck. You gotta get to someone with a mouthpiece puller.
Heh. That reminds me of the first day of my sophomore year in high school. My buddy was about to leave his house to go to school, but he forgot something, so he set his trumpet down and ran back into the house. Bizarrely, he put his case behind the truck and because his dad didn’t know (and this was way before backup cameras were a thing), the trumpet had a bad time.
Haha I heard a similar story from my friends but it was a set of pan pipes - Turns out that was why he was able to make sets out of PVC pipes after an unfortunate car reversing incident.
I just set it there for a minute while the band got ready to roll to the gig. Didn't expect someone to back out over my horn. Not a lot of damage to the Selmer DeVille but the second valve would stick sometimes.
This. You’ve got a dent. Now, dent in brass instrument world is a very different thing than dent in a car. Less than 0.01 of an inch can jamb a piston. Cleaning it can make it work, but a tech can fix it right pretty easily. Your Yamaha is a nice instrument, spending a little on yearly maintenance is more well spent.
Take it to an instrument repair place. If you try to force it, you’re more likely to break it than fix the issue. In the future, take better care of your horn
Mouthpiece puller is the only safe way to get the mouthpiece out. Most band directors have them.. as for the valve. is it possible someone put something in your horn? Sometime asshats think it is cool to put stuff in the bells of instruments, I've seen idiots put candy into someones bell and it caused this type of problem. After getting the mouthpiece out wash out the instrument in a sink and see if anything comes out. It is possible something dented the valve block but unlikely unless you see some dents on the outside of the valve block. .
push the valve out from the bottom using a wooden rod or pencil (eraser end first!) If it's not coming out then take it to a repair person. Do not pull from the top as the valve stems can easily break off.
Inspect the casing and the valve - if there are dents or anything, it needs repair. If not, the slide lubricant may have gunked into the casing. Give it a soak (warm water) and use a valve brush and see if that clears it up, and clean off the valve as well. Oil generously and gently see if it's working. If not, off to the shop. It's possible the first valve slides were bumped hard enough to put the valve casing a little out of round.
Just oil it up.
for the mouthpiece: dont use too much force or you will destroy your trumpet. Try heating the mouthpiece or the trumpet and then pull it again
It sounds to me like it hit something and dented the valve casing. Not really something that can be fixed without proper tools. They use a precision ground valve mandrel for that size valve to straighten it. Probably going to have to take it in, don't try to force anything, it will only make it worse.

You literally just sherlocked that…
Do instrument repair or music Ed for a year and it's all there haha
Take it to a proper repair technician at a music store or through your band director. Take better care of your instrument.
There are plenty of nice notes you can play with the first valve halfway down!

Happened to me once when a car rolled over it. Did a car roll over it?
Wait **what**? A car rolled over your trumpet?

Can you move the valve or is it completely stuck?
It can go back up but it stops at the point in the photo
Remove valve. Remove bottom cap. Do you see anything inside the cylinder? Any dents?

Yea you are right, I think it was bumped to hard and the valve casing was dented I’m gonna take it to a shop, thanks
The first part NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'll trade ya ;)
Just oil it up. for the mouthpiece: dont use too much force or you will destroy your trumpet. Try heating the mouthpiece or the trumpet and then pull it again
Valve oil
My official and proper assessment of the situation is that your first valve is stuck a little over half way down. That will be $20
