Today I came across a 1982 Lincoln Penny. I looked at Lincoln's face and his chin is very squared and not rounded like normal. It is also pointing downward at a different angle. What type of error could this be? Also, could it be worth anything? Thank you!

Probably a polished die issue. That would narrow some features of the design. Here is a side by side of the two different designs that year. (large and small dates)

Note the 'y' and the 1 on the date are smaller than normal, also more space between Liberty and the bust.
