Ok. so I cut my arm... really deep and pretty long and now I cannot bend my elbow or like turn my arm over. Why is this? Is there anything I can do to make it better? its scaring me.

Any numbness or tingling?

Can you not move your arm because of pain? Or physically can't move it?

Can you bend all your fingers and make a fist?

It sounds like you may have done some damage to your nerves or muscles. You need to be seen by a doctor ASAP to see if you have done any serious damage, because if you have the sooner it's seen to the higher chance of permanent effects.

I'd go to a doctor asap
you may have cut the tendon I've done that before but it was from me and my brother.
If you can't feel your arm or fingers you may as well have nerve damage as well.
I would go if I were you. Only from personal experiance. You may need surgery. I may be wrong though.
Its best to go see a doctor.
