Default Check VSC light and Check Engine light both on

Car has been running fine, Check VSC light and Check Engine light both came on a couple of weeks ago but car has driven fine. Today, out of nowhere my steering wheel locks up and the Check AWD, brakes and ABS light come on and it seems as if my battery is beginning to die. I cut the car off and it did not come on again afterwards. A few hours later, I went to crank it and it came on and the steering wheel seemed fine but as I began to drive it locked up again. Its an 06 IS250.
