But...how fast were you going when you "just downed it to 3rd"? And what mods to your car?
You may have over-revved the car when you downshifted and bent a valve.

both of you guys need to do a compression/leakdown test...to rule out major issues/damage.
However, the "just downed it to third" thing is probably the real cause for "1stook2c". Don't be in denial on this sort of thing. If you overreved the engine it may be fixable right now. If you keep driving it with damage, you are bound to lose the entire engine.

Remove the battery entirely and hook the car up to a battery you know is good to see if you can get power.
As for the knocking...if your car is making that kind of sound, it would probably be best to tow it so as not to damage the engine further. Otherwise, a rod knock might turn into a cracked block should the rod let go and get shoved out the side of the block.

Both of you guys need to try a fresh and new battery first. That's a lot cheaper than a compression and leakdown test, and it's the number one cause of "car won't start" problems.
