Unhappy I think i blew up my volvo plz help me

98 S70 GLT 111k and and belts done about 7k ago

i was driving home tonight and the car seemed to be running fine. about a half mile before my house theres a lil straight away so i decided to give it some gas so i put the pedal to the floor. when i did so it seemed as if my car lost all acceleration ability. it felt like my tires were blown and the car was driving very bumpy when i gave it gas. i thought it was just slipping bc it was raining out and my abs doesnt work so i tried it again still no acceleration power. it was as if my car was being jerked around back and forth and was trying to fight to keep moving foward. when i got home i looked and there was a bunch of smoke so i shut off my car. i am not mechanically inclined so i just looked at the belts and it looked like they were still there but i still dont know how to really check. it was dark so i wasnt able to check everything out. my check came on all of a sudden when the car begin to act up. for the last 2 weeks has been making some weird idling noises. i recorded them and will post a link to the vid of the noise. the noise was at the belts. i am scared to start my car again bc i think i may break something else.

any advice is welcome

thank you in advance

I would check the intercooler hoses. It sounds like you blew one out or off.
