Default Air Conditioning went crazy

I was driving around yesterday and out of nowhere after i take a turn i hear a whirring noise seeming to come from the engine / bottom side of it, and the air conditioning shut off and the A/C button started flashing.

everytime i hit the A/C button it does this now, and right after it did this the front windshield fogged up almost immediately as well. Anybody know whats broken or what i need to buy and replace

thanks

The AC Compressor went bad and locked up.
