No, your sentence is not OK in my opinion. “I wouldn’t dare” would be used about something hypothetical/imagined. You could say “I hope I won’t break my phone, because I wouldn't dare tell my mom.”
Or you could use it in a context like this:
A: I broke my phone
B: Are you going to tell your mom?
A: No, I wouldn’t dare.
Your sentence should be either
“I broke my phone and I didn’t dare tell my mom” (if it was in the past)
“I broke my phone and I don’t dare tell my mom” (if it’s in the present)

The difference is - have you broken your phone now, or what if you broke your phone in the future.
NOW:
I broke my phone, and I don't dare tell my mom.
IN THE FUTURE:
If I broke my phone, I wouldn't dare tell my mom.
