Just to add since you asked and no one answered the simple question- yes there are some OK lenses you can pick up for $2-300 that will have the auto focus motor built in and be compatible. IIRC any of the nikon lenses that say AF-S should work. Keep in mind, cheap lenses are not going to be great lenses, but even a mediocre DSLR lense is usually capable of getting some pretty darn nice shots at least by beginner's standards (I put myself in that group BTW )

Your cheapest route might be to look for an 18-55 "kit" lens. B&Hphotovideo carries used lens's and would probably have some fairly cheap as they often get traded in as people get more into their cameras and deeper into their bank accounts.
Edit, and don't take my post as saying that your current lens doesnt' have an autofocus motor, I simply have no idea about that.
Edit, Edit, Here's the B&H used nikon lens list. They have several 55-200 AF-S for $120 or less. Scroll through the pages and you'll probably find an 18-55 AF-S for a little more.

Or here's an 18-70 AF-S for $160
