Can I file and pay self-employment taxes for last year that I apparently missed? Will that be counted towards social security credits if I didn't receive 1099?

Worked for cash last year (short term substitute for caregiver ). Didn't know it is considered self-employment and did not file or paid any taxes last year. I thought I could pay now before filing tax return and it is the first time that I don't have w2 and even 1099. I'm worried about Social security /Medicare that I did not pay. Is there any way to fix the situation?
