whenever there is something deep underwater like a submarine why does eventually the glass start breaking and why does water kinda lift things up for that matter?

Pressure is force/area. The force in this case is the weight of the water, as gravity is always acting on it. The deeper you go the more weight on the object=more force=more pressure. Eventually an object that cannot equalize the pressure with the outside water will implode.
