Handle bars and wheel not aligned.

Handle bars and wheel not aligned.
Good afternoon everyone, I recently bought a Suzuki S50 and been riding it back and forth to work for the last month. Today I decided to take it on a late afternoon ride across town and got lost in a pretty sketchy neighborhood. Long story short a dog came out of nowhere and I hit it doing about 45-50 mph. I'm new to riding so I definitely dropped the bike . Several things got damaged and after I towed it back home, I noticed the handlebars and tire don't align any more for about a few degrees. What could be the culprit of this? Are my tubes bent? Or does the whole front end need to be replaced?Sorry for the long post.
Its hard to see but I rode up the driveway and the handle bars or shocks are off

I fixed it! After a quick google search, I came across a post of someone with the same problem. He said to loosen the tube pinch screws on the forks and pump down on the handlebars a few times and everything should fall back into place. I did that and to my surprise it worked flawlessly. I torqued the bolts back to factory specs, went for a ride and it rode straight as an arrow.
