No,no,no it is not your fault.
Your sentence that " ... the batteries only last like 1 minute..." tells it all. You probably were using ordinary AA batteries and the power got used up pretty fast by the LCD screen of this camera. So there is not enough power to retract the lens and it stayed where it was.
So much for the possible causes of your problem and don't push the lens manually, it will land you with a heavy bill to get it repaired, and hopefully this has not happen yet.
Now let us look on the bright side.
Remove the existing batteries, change to a new pair of Energizer camera battery. This should last for quite a while.
The lens should start moving and retract into the camera with the new batteries.
Next your card. It came from another camera and the switch somehow got moved and lock the card. Take it out and look at one side of it. Along the edge, there will be a small cut out, with a tiny switch in it, yellow in some and white in others. Flip the switch to the opposite side of where it is now and the card will be unlocked.
Lastly, if the above works, go and buy a set of rechargeable Ni MH batteries. Get the pack sold together with a charger. Charge it for 8 hours before you use it and you should be OK.
