lost power steering and engine started to crank

So, i was driving tonight and i had some open road so i tried to drift onto another road. i did but did not really work all that well, immediatly i lost power steering, and i had no gas or even brake, i only made it about 5 yards though because i lost all speed. The scary part was that while i was just waiting for my car to stop, my engine or something was just making an awful cranking noise and i had no clue what was happening. When i stopped in the middle of the road, my car was able to put into park and the noise stopped. and everything was perfectly fine after all that. i just drove home and it drove like normal. i have no clue what happened and was wondering if anyone knew what happened.

The car cannot speak directly to you, so it was trying to tell you it did not like what you were doing to it, the only other way it knows how. If it had a spare hand, you would have received a bi....
