I would just try to do the best I could in my remaining classes while trying to decide if medicine is right for me. Obviously, it's a big decision that shouldn't be taken lightly. I'd relax and give it a long and careful consideration. If you decide to do it, then you can worry about taking the next steps to getting into med school.
Your GPA is too low. A post-bacc would be needed to get that up to an acceptable range. 3.3-3.5 with good ECs and a MCAT>25 could get you into a DO school.
If you're unsure, you should probably do some major job shadowing to see if it is really what you want to do.

Yes. 👍
Also, do some clinical volunteering, shadow a doctor - see if you like it. Build up a good resume and with a good MCAT, you can apply in DO (or cross your fingers for MD and apply broadly).
