You were married to a US citizen and you used the B visa (most likely the B-2, not the B-1--check your I-94) for entry to the US as a tourist, and after entry you had a second marriage ceremony.
You should complete your visit in the US, and return to your home country to apply for the K-3 visa. Your husband should file the I-130, then using the receipt notice, file for the K-3 approval notice from USCIS. With that approval, you file for the visa at your home consulate. You enter the US as the K-3 spouse of a USC, and then file the AOS.

No... once you are out of status, you cannot change to any other status. Wait until your husband become USC or I-130 is approved... then have experienced immigration attorney take care of your case.
Note to all readers... if you can't afford an attorney, do not overstay your visa.
