My Laptop is being retarded.

It has to do with the charger, up until today, it's been fine, but now every time I unplug the charger, my computer shuts down. I thought it was the battery, but I can use my laptop without the charger. Anything I should look into? I.e. new battery, charger? Anything?

I think you need a new battery. You should probably get an answer from someone else first though; I'm not sure.

So the AC adapter charges the battery, but the physical act of removing the ac adapter from the laptop causes it to shut down? From that description, it sounds like an issue of a short in the DC jack.
