Everyone's attacking me and I'm unable to pay my bounty [duplicate]

I started playing Skyrim on the PS3 and I killed my first dragon, learning 'Unrelenting Force'. Awesome! So I went into town, getting the letter from a friend. Bear in mind I had no autosaves and my last save was in Riverwood before meeting the Jarl. I accidentally used my shout and hit a citizen and two guards. They came after me and killed me. I cannot speak to them and they repeatedly kill me.

I went to Dragonsreach to start the Greybeards quest and they started attacking me. I picked a lock in sight, adding bounty, to see if paying it would clear my name, but the guards still kill me and don't demand bounty. What should I do?
