My laptop screen broke about a month ago and i have been using a external display since then. It was all fine til i had an issue with Nvidia Geforce experience and one of the solutions were to uninstall it and reinstall. So i uninstalled it through the device manager and the external display turned off. Now i don't know if there is anything i can do now that doesnt involve having the screen fixed and i am not even sure if the problem will fix itself then.

My laptop is the Acer Nitro 5, and its Graphics Card is the GTX 1050

You don't uninstall Geforce Experience through Device Manager, you uninstall it using "Programs & Features" in Control Panel, where all the installed applications are listed.
Sounds to me like you uninstalled the Nvidia graphics driver instead if you used Device Manager --- big mistake.

I think you'll need to get the screen repaired so you can see Windows to reinstall the Nvidia driver.

You should have got screen fixed when it broke anyway, a laptop isn't much use if it can only be used with an external monitor.
 
After restarting the computer, see if you can get a display using either the designated keys on the keyboard for toggling monitors, or use the Windows key and P key a couple of times & press enter to toggle the primary display.

It does sound like you uninstalled the graphics driver, but [blindly] restarting Windows should at least get you a basic driver reinstalled and, hopefully, a picture.
