oh man. that sucks. I did that a few years ago. Had just moved in to a basement apartment. The freezer was in *horrible* shape, so I decided to work on it on a week night. It took so long, I decided to go in and forcibly work on the ice.
ummm. yeah. There is a reason there are stickers on there that say, "do not use that screwdriver by the sink to chip at the ice".
My friend just did that to our kegerator recently. He ended up paying about $160 to get it fixed, and then he put foam type stuff in the shaft through which the tap line goes in order to prevent so much ice from forming inside it in the future. The guy that fixed it didn't do that much work - if you can weld, you can probably fix it yourself and refill it with freon.

I bought my landlord a new refrigerator.
Hope this doesn't wind up costing you too much.
