Replace the wheel ASAP with an equivalent.

Then either buy another wheel... or a new set. You don't want to be riding on a cracked wheel.

crack wheels are hard to deal with. maybe you can see if a shop can weld it back, otherwise get a new one

Depends how bad the crack is... Take it to a local wheel shop that fixes wheels and see what they say. I had a crack in one of my wheels which lead to a small leak but was fixable. It was better to spend $100 to fix it than spending $300 or so for a new one.
