Now, take a deep breath, inhale slowly, exhale slowly, and repeat a few times. After you regain your senses, tell us, in English, what you really are trying to say.

bad noise, oil under engine, smoke, will not turn over= BLOWN MOTOR.
sorry dude that sucks.
if you were to ask me I would say you blew a piston apart and the rod came out the bottom.

yeah, seriously!
To the OP, why would you try to turn the car over again if you see oil leaking out? If you know you're losing oil, starting your car / keeping your car running is the worse thing you can do!
First instinct should be pull over ASAP, shut it off and have your car towed!
What you described (after reading the revised version from another poster
) happened to me, the drain plug shot out (it sounds like a champagne cork popping / a tire blowing out). The smoke came out from the hood and thru the vents, not because the motor was about to be toasted but it was the oil being burnt on the exhaust and other hot surfaces. Had it towed to my friend / mechanic's house, he gave me a new drain plug, filled it w/ oil again and I was good to go.Easiest way to check for that is to jack up the passenger side, if you see a threaded hole in the oil pan, you have your answer.
But if your car won't turn over now, you've probably fuXX0r'd a lot of things - good luck!
