sounds (reads) like you snapped a CV joint........
If it is a clicking sound when you turn the wheel either direction the cv joints may be ruined. Check the cv boots for damage. the clicking sound is the main indicator. not too expensive to replace if you look for the right shop. You WILL get a large range in prices and some people trying to scare you. I have done it myself. Not technical work, just hard work.
Thank you guys so much, you were right on, it was a snapped cv and i didn't have to go to the mechanic without a clue about the situation. It cost $355 with towing (the guy recommended to replace the full axle)
