X and Z axes fail after firmware update (3.13.2)
Printer (MK3S) was working decently until I just updated the firmware to the most recent version (3.13.2). Now, when I try to run a self test and it starts on the x-axis, it starts on the left, goes a little past halfway, then goes back to the far left. it then stops and says it failed for x-axis length.
If I try to level the bed or calibrate the z-axis, the nozzle goes all the way to the top and keeps trying to spin even after it has reached the top, making a rough, grinding noise. Any suggestions? Has anyone else had trouble with the new firmware?

Assuming you flashed the correct firmware for your machine, tihs is almost certanly a hardware issue.
Check the movement of your x-axis with power switched off. Move it by hand, does it move smoothly? If not, check the rods, are there any scratch marks? Did you do the regular maintenance? A.k.a grease the bearings? Is there something in the way? Cable? Tools? Enclosure?
The sound when clibration of z-axis hits the top end stop sounds very unpleasant but this is normal behaviour as long as it stops after a few seconds.
If you want to rule out hardware issues: flash the old firmware and try selftest and calibration.
If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you.

I've double checked that that the firmware is the correct version. The X-axis moves smoothly when powered off, but now it seems like the the zero point of X is off, like it's starting in the middle of the track, and if I try to just "Move axis" it won't go any farther left than the middle, which is says is "+0.0"
Everything that I see on this x-axis length error just says to make sure it moves smoothly when it's off, so I don't know what else to correct.
