Default over heating /engine knocking/white smoke from radiator

I recently got stuck in a snow storm driving up nothing but icy hills in my lexus gs400 99 the worst experience ever I was literally driving sideways a hole hr now eventually I noticed the car starting to smoke and over heat really bad I kept hitting the gas so I wouldn't slide in a ditch or crash into car behind me I got it to a gas station and the Anti freeze had bust and leaked every where it was smoking from the radiator thick smoke I let it cool down put antifreeze in it and started it up it started fine when I drove off I heard a knocking under the car all the lights inside came on and the car shut off I started the car it started fine drove off with the same clicking noise the windows started to fog so I heat the heat button and that made the car **** right off and it would not start again it turns over fine but will not start the check engine light was already flashing along with the vsc on and off switch prior to this day I was already having issues with my acceleration so the I feel I blew my engine
