I'm at the part where I'm supposed to find the "Hidden Village" and meet the Goron on the red spot on my map across Eldin Bridge. Earlier in the game I ran away from the shadow monsters I was supposed to defeat to make a warp point across the bridge so now I'm at the part of the bridge that's broken and when I look across I can see the shadow beings on the other side. I'm assuming there's supposed to be a warp point so that I can get across the bridge and to the Goron, I can't find another way to get across the bridge. Does this mean I will have to start the game all over now?

I had the same problem.No you dont have to start over.Look around the ordan field.You should already have a key to open a gate there.Make sure you examine the gate to unlock it.then you just make it to the spot your headed for the long way.
