Now, please tell me there's someone out there that's seen this and is going to tell me I'm not completely screwed and I haven't lost a couple days work because of my PC.

Its a bug in Z brush. It does it sometimes with tools when you've got a problem with lower levels.
Open it up and then drop down a level see if you can start to see where the problems are coming from then use the smooth brush to get them back in place, if its still messy drop another level. Then move back up the levels and smooth the spikes, you will loose some detial but hoepfully not the whiole model.
If not then why are you not saving at regular intervals under different file names?

Yeah when I started with Z I used to save often but with the same file, and if I got a problem BAM!
Z3 when it came out was a nightmare, 3.1's stabalised a lot but can still be a bit unperdictable, which is just Z not the computer its on.
Save often and with a number suffix on the end project_01, 02 etc etc.
One thing though if youve got to do it again, try not to use the tutorial, of only refer lightly to it.

Edit: Oh yeah, I couldn't get this guy to level 7, so if I ever get some upgrades for my PC I might come back and finish off the sculpting.

Anyway, I finished the texturing and rendering training. Right now I'm working on texturing the creature, but I don't know how long it'll take.

Not too sure if theres bleed from the material thats darkening the overall look.
Personally I prefer the fast shader to texture with, matcaps have a tendancy to throw off the look, they also dont obay lighting etc.
