Is there a way to weld it or will I need to get a new frame? Also would it be safe to ride it like that or would it not be recommended? I’ve never had a frame crack on me.

It can be fixed by a skilled welder. You're also going to need to repaint it. I suggest putting a custom made split lug on after the weld repair. The split lug will have to be welded back together once around the frame, then brazed on. This should prevent any future cracks.
If I were fixing it I would drill the very end of the crack, weld it up, and then do as Jerry said. If a lug is out of the question then gusseting the frame on both sides would suffice.
