Hello, and welcome,
What did I do and what should I do?
The end of the film (the loose end, pointing upwards in your picture) is supposed to be still attached to the spool inside that catridge on the left.
Either it has come loose / was not attached properly during production, or you have kinda ripped this off while trying to advance the film with force, when you were already at the end of it (you should have noticed quite some resistance, followed by "no resistance" afterwards).
Pushing the release on the bottom right, then using the fold-out crank on the top left of the camera is the way to go to rewind your film on cameras like that, and you not feeling any tension really clarifies the film had snapped out of the catridge by then already. Gotta say I have never seen it happen like this before - I have seen ripped film somewhere outside the canister but not the whole thing come out clean like that).
Question really is did you forcefully try to advance the film at the end.I figure the film is all ruined really?
Sorry to say but yes, it is.

Thanks for the reply. No! I really didn't. I was always aware of how many shots I had left and once the 36th one was taken I couldn't advance it anymore. It was never hard to advance the film.
And I must have done something horrible as it was further wound than the photo, it was all cleanly up at the right hand spool, with little loose.Cri

HELP NEEDED
I am fresh to film photography and it all seemed to be going fineish, the film caught well and I think it's shot all fine after I found out I needed a bettery to advance the film.
I come to wind the film back as I have reached the end of the film.
I have a canon ae1 program so I click the button under the right of the camera, and begin winding, I don't feel any tension. When I open it, it seems all the film has been wound into the right hand spool and is fully out of the left hand spool. A la the picture:
