[Software] apt-get dist-upgrade broke my system

$

I'm running the newest version of Debian and I was trying to install VLC but it required packages I didn't have, so I was told to run the command "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" to install these packages.
It worked and I was able to install VLC. Later, when I restarted the computer, it took me to the login screen with my username selected. When I clicked my username and typed my password, it got stuck in the spinning wheel for about a minute and then it took me back to the same login screen like nothing happened. If I click my username again and type the password, the same thing happens.
I already tried pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1 to make the terminal appear but nothing happend. I also tried with the other F keys but nothing happened. I'm trying to make the terminal appear so I can see if I can do something with the terminal that might help me fix this.
Any ideas on what do to?
Thank you
