Can someone explain compound, simple, and run-on sentences in a lengthy paragraph if you can? if so, i you dearly for i am reviewing last year's subject, and i'm struggling with it slightly.

jan went on a quiz show, won two hundred dollars, and bought gifts for her family.
my guess for this one would be a compound sentences, but it would also sound correct if i pt the sentence like this--
jan went on a quiz show. she then won two hundred dollars, and bought gifts for her family.
therefore, it could be a run-on sentence.

the museum was crowded, but our group was able to see everything.
my guess is a run-on sentence for this one, but then again in second grade i had learned to never use the word "but" as the starting point in a sentence. so that's where i'm deeply confused.

my puppy is well-trained; he can sit and speak.
i'm fond of semicolons, but they can confuse me at times. this is one of those times. anyway, my guess is a simple sentence, but simple sentences usually don't have any punctuation besides the period at the end.

therefore, am i correct on any of these?
