If you updated your database to Drupal 6, there is no way of downgrading to Drupal 5.
Your only chance is to use a backup of your Drupal 5 database if you have one, and load it to a Drupal 5 installation
I updated my 5.x version to
I updated my 5.x version to 6.1 and my website can no longer be accessed and this is what appears:

What's worse is that my files in a folder I created has disappeared. It seems like I 'll have to redo the entire website. It sucks, man! And I wish I didn't upgrade it anymore.

The error messages probably come from an old module or theme left over from Drupal 5. Drupal 5 modules and themes are not compatible with Drupal 6 and you must replace them with a new version and then run update.php, or disable them and delete them (if a new version does not exist).
About your files folder, unfortunately it was up to you to keep your files when you deleted Drupal 5.
Check or ask whether your host keeps automatic backups. If they do, you may be able to restore your database and/or your files and to go back to Drupal 5.
Experienced admins (who know the procedure well and rarely make mistakes)
(a) always keep a backup before upgrading and
(b) usually do the upgrade on a testing site first and watch out for possible problems.
