Getting feedback can be terrifying: you put so much effort into your work, and if your grade does not reflect your effort, it can be soul-destroying. But, all is not lost! This is a learning journey: you learn as much or more from failure than you do from success, even though it hurts.
Fail stands for First Attempt In Learning. That is all.
Whether you pass or fail, look at the feedback – what went well? What needs attention?
Can you schedule a support session to work out the issues?
Can you redo and resubmit? Most universities offer a chance to resubmit but will only give a passing grade as a maximum. It is worth checking the policy on retakes.
