Hello. I'm in a bit of a panic! Let me tell you why.
I recently upgraded from Musescore 1.2.0 or something like that, to Musescore 2.3.2 and now a lot of files don't want to open. It tells me
"Cannot read file C:\Users\Owner\Documents\Jared'sMusic\Reels.It_Works_On_Paper.mscz,: unknown type". What do I do? There are a ton of valuable scores that I've written and don't want to lose.

Not sure, but maybe you should start MuseScore 1.2 again (http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/musescore/releases/) and export these scores as musicxml file format.
The file you listed there is not a regular MuseScore file - see the period at the beginning of the name and the comma at the end? It's a backup file. Your actual score is the same name without the extra period and comma. BTW, this is not different from 1.2. Also, FWIW, MuseScore 2 was release almost four years ago, you're a bit behind on the upgrade, now we're only a few weeks from MuseScore 3 :-). Probably not worth investing much time worrying about importing your scores into 2.3.2 at this point.

I didn't pay for 2.3.2, it was a free download.
And I cannot afford to purchase any new programs as of now.

None of the Musescore versions cost any money? Nobody paid for 2.3.2. Or MS3.
They were just saying that if you've waited this long to upgrade, you might as well wait another month or so, and upgrade to Musescore 3.
None of the upgrades cost money.

MuseScore 3 (beta for now) is a free download too.
You version 1.2 (or any 1.x) is still on your computer. The version 2 is probably under a folder that ends MuseScore2, while your version 1.x is probably under a folder that ends MuseScore (with no number).
