I inserted the wall plug and started drilling in the screw. As the screw was going in parts of the wall started coming out. Now a big lump of plaster has come off the wall. How do I fix this?

If it's when the the drill bit emerges, you can do this trick. Clamp a piece of scrap wood behind the workpiece and drill a hole into it. You can also try stopping just as the tip emerges then move on to the other side and drill another hole. Check your drill bit tip. It may be oversized for the job hence the splitting.
