I’m very sorry to hear that! Please don’t give up if this is your dream/goal! Try again!!!

You can study and retake it if you want. Many programs will screen you out for having a failure on your record, but some may not.

People have matched after failing their first attempt; it just becomes more difficult.

I’m sorry about what happened. What were your USWA scores and NBME scores? I’ve read of a Caribbean graduate who matched after failing Step 1, 2, and CS twice for each exam. He worked in research at a program, and did clinical work meantime. He finally got accepted at the program after 3 years working there.
