What can I do now? I guess.. removed the head and examine how bad the cylinder 3 is? Replace the broken valve and put the head back on? Any other thoughts?

Uggh.

Did the valve drop into the cylinder while the engine was running? If so, you're going to have to remove the head and check for cylinder damage. Check to make sure that valve guide isn't damaged as well.
