Does anyone have any clue what went wrong and what i can do to fix it?
This is standard behavior because html files often call other htmls files and images. Calibre zips up all/any files associated with the main html file you added.

If you wish to view these files go to Preferences - Behavior and check the zip box under the Use internal viewer for: area. Or convert the zip files to ePub since calibre's viewer is a ePub viewer and will convert the zips to ePub on the fly to view them internally.
