Why does my bike make these noises?

Im talking about a bike as in a bicycle. It was around £120 and was bought for my paper round. As Id be using it just for this purpose I wouldn't really need an expensive one. It is very hard to describe but my bike makes a kind of low pitched clunking noise sometimes and at the same time my foot gives way on the thing that you place your foot on because it goes down quickly when pedalling. This happens especially when I am going up hills. It seems like it is confused what gear it is in because when I start pedalling again after it clunks it seems like it is in a slightly higher gear.

I don't treat it badly or anything, I know it's cheap also but I expected it to function fine enough.

Sometimes it also makes this high pitched noise when I brake etc, from my little experience it sounds like I just need to oil it?

Any info would be useful, thanks.
