If it smokes, your motor is cooked. Is it pouring out the bottom of the engine? You probably have a tremendous clog in the block somewhere

How do I check that ? Sorry I'm not a mechanic. I'm a single mom trying to fix my car.

You need to have a mechanic flush the block with pressure to see if it is clogged, but first see if water pump is working

Water pump is working.
