Mine just "crashed" it won't turn on and it has no physical buttons and it's glued to the wall or some shit.
I turned the heat on really high and now it won't turn off so I opened all the windows. This is bad.

The thermostat usually has a battery so turning off the power won't kill it but look for a switch next to the furnace or like Jiggaboo said trip the breaker

Take the front off the thermostat (or, on really cheap models you'll need to remove from the wall) to get to the low voltage wiring. You will normally find 4 wires color coded red, green, yellow and white. The red wire is incoming power. The green wire turns on the furnace blower at high speed (heat comes on at a lower speed through, normally these days, a circuit board at the furnace). The yellow wire turns on the outdoor A/C condensing unit. The white wire turns on the furnace. If there is a fifth wire, it will be for a neutral to power the thermostat then only using the batteries as backup. The fifth wire could also be for a reversing valve but only on a heat pump system.
Removing the white wire should stop your furnace. If not, your problem probably lies within your furnace such as a stuck gas valve although you may possibly have a short between the red and white wire somewhere. A stuck gas valve would require turning the gas supply valve off. It should be located just outside of the furnace in the incoming gas line.
The very easiest way to stop the system is to turn off the switch on the side of the furnace. It should look just like a light switch. If the gas continues to flow, you have a stuck gas valve (very rare...I can only remember finding one in my HVAC career and it was on a water heater and involved a valve that continued working with the pilot blown out).
Hope this helps! PM if need more help. If you're going to replace the thermostat, my recommendation would be a Honeywell thermostat.

No you don't. HTS has a string now.
