Model: LGMS5500, Lg Stylo 2 Plus (MetroPCS), Android Marshmallow 6.0.1

Here's my issue.

I recently rooted/installed TWRP for this phone, all was working well until one day the system started running extremely slow.
Pulling down the notification bar took about five seconds; it took about the same amount of time to turn the screen on/off.

I searched everywhere for fixes and tried every one to no avail, so I figured I'd do a factory reset.

After trying the factory reset from the settings app; all the phone did was reboot.
So I went into TWRP and reset/cleared data from there.

Now when the phone starts, it brings me to a screen saying "Encryption unsuccessful" and only gives me the option to reset my phone.
When I press this button, it just reboots to the same screen>

I can't get into TWRP because before all of this happened, I disabled USB debugging.
So I can't use my PC to get into recovery.
There's also no way to boot to recovery with just the hardware buttons; the only way to get to TWRP with this phone is either from apps on the phone itself or using ADB.

Am I S.O.L here? Am I going to need to buy a new phone? I'd rather not have to drop another $175 because of something this dumb.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Try reinstalling lg drivers .i had to do that. Use the lg tools and don't have phone plugged when you install them. Then try again to clear data prompts. How it helps
