I'm working on a project for a client. I tried adding a vertical menu at a breakpoint to create an accordion menu for mobile viewing. When I tried to add this menu, the program crashed with the error: "Can't copy BPANode from itself." I uninstalled and then reinstalled the program and ensured that I have the last version of Muse available. I've been using is for a couple weeks and this is the first problem like this I've had. Suggestions?

Does your document crash, when adding a standard accordion?
If yes: Could you delete all pages and elements, which aren‘t necessary to demonstrate your issue, upload this .muse file to Dropbox or a similar file sharing service and post the download link here? Then we can have a look.

Thank you so much. At this point, it crashes when I try to add or do anything. Here is the link to the file: Dropbox - muse site.zip - Simplify your life

Evidentliy, your .muse document is heavily corrupted, but its content may be rescued.
Try this:
Having done that, all should work fine again!
PS: For reasons like this: Backup, backup, backup …

Thank you so much! Just to make sure I'm understanding, I need to recreate the site in muse or outside of muse to avoid something like this happening again?

I would re-build the site within Muse (if you have no other intentions, because Muse isn’t developed any more).
My proposal:
Now your site should work fine again and it should be possible to add new elements and widgets.
One more hint:
Backup your file quite often and use „Save As …“ instead of „Save“. The reason: For velocity reasons Muse doesn’t „clean up“ the document when it is „saved“. This happens – just like in many other applications – when using „Save As …“
A „Save As …“ will re-build the intern database and definitely discard all deleted elements (wich are only flagged as „unused“ when you simply perform a simple „Save“). By doing this, you will experience a considerable reduction of the file size especially of large .muse files.
