Problem with child theme. Need help understanding please!

I'm new to child themes and have never created one before. I am also not a programmer. I read the tutorials and followed the instructions for adding a style.css and functions.php file to the child theme folder and have made no other changes/additions. When I activated the child theme, my site no longer looks like it did. The color theme is there but everything is out of place and not displaying properly (example: map is now at bottom on homepage and other things are out all out of sorts. Can someone please help? I need some detailed instructions that are easy to implement and understand for a non-programmer. I have attached an image of what part of the homepage now looks like. Please help!

Here is my functions.php file:

<?php

// BEFORE USING: Move the vantage-child theme into the /themes/ folder.
