Some members on the Forum have used J B Weld to repair the Spark.
Is the crack on both sides?
The frame may need to be replaced either by you or a repair shop.
There are YouTube videos on how to switch everything over if you DIY.
I think there is some soldering of wires in the arms to the motors, everything else are plugs.
The crack will slowly stress and will fail if no action is taken as the Spark can pull some "G's" from time to time during flight.

Definitely don't fly that aircraft until repaired with epoxy and several close-proximity test flights.
From the photo it's more than just a simple crack. That tiny gap in the frame can change the angle of trust for that rotor and cause harmful vibration. Keep a close eye on that even after the "fix".
Good luck. Hope it works well

The good news is, parts are cheap, especially if you can do it yourself!
Did you crash or is that a stress crack ?

Buying cheap parts is the only easy step...
To swap frames you must first completely disassemble the aircraft without causing further damage. Reassembly involves getting everything back together just right and soldering the tiny motor wires that are housed in each of the 4 arms.
It can definitely be done - but preferably by somebody experienced with such repairs. Not trying to discourage you - just don't want you to get in over your head. Best of luck whatever to do!
