I was told that I needed a new engine, when I learn that cynlinder 3 has low compression. Is that true?

Did you ask why you need a new engine? Instead of repairing that 1? Who gave you that advice? Are you a girl/woman?

Sometimes places take advantage of women. Your name is not recognizable as definately male. Did you ask them why it cannot be repaired? Does the car burn oil/smoke or something? Any engine is repairable, it just may cost less to replace it with a used 1.
