I am trying to secure my apache with Let's Encrypt on Ubuntu 18.04,

I ran these commands:

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:certbot/certbot
$ sudo apt install python-certbot-apache
$ sudo ufw enable
$ sudo ufw allow 'Apache Full'

After the last command, The terminal froze, so I decided to close it and reconnect hoping it would really reconnect.
Unfortunately, it returns with a message saying:

ssh: connect to host <...some public ipv4 DNS> port 22: Connection timed out

I checked the security groups to see if SSH is set to Anywhere and yes its set.

My guess is I messed up the ufw configs(or maybe not), but I can't confirm it because I cant ssh to my ec2 instance.

When you setup ufw, it's very important to also allow the ssh connection otherwise you will effectively lock yourself out of your server which seems to be the case.
