My malted grain was supposed to be cracked when I got it. Turns out alot of it wasn't. I wasn't paying attention and mash with it anyway. Can I add sugar to the wort and if so how much?

Cut your losses and dump it. Chalk it up to experience (but give yourself a demerit for not checking in the first place... Attention. To. Detail.) No use tying up tank space, chilling, etc. on a f@cked up beer. And it's not worth sacrificing your brand or integrity forcing out a substandard beer, particularly if you are just starting out. First impressions matter...
Reminds me of the mid '90s when folks were trying to foist infected beer as "Belgian style." Man, that would make my blood boil... They used to HANG people for that in the middle ages.
Most of those folks didn't survive when the *first* bubble burst. Let's see what happens next time: Winter is Coming. Anyone pay attention at the last few CBCs? QUALITY is going to drive this industry's growth!!! "Accidentally" making beer with unmilled grain is a huge red flag, dude...
Sorry to be a downer, but to quote Mitch Steele: “If you are starting a brewery, please, for God’s sake, hire someone who knows what they’re doing.”
Best of luck, man.
