It sounds like you have a bad timing belt or chain. Unless you are a mechanically inclined person I would take it to a shop and have it checked. If it broke while you were driving and it's an interference engine you will have to have the head pulled off and new valves replaced with any bent ones and a new belt or chain and tensioner.
