Was driving great, then while making a turn it stalled and now won’t start. No smoke, no leaks, no warning light! There is a weird smell inside the car, kind of smells like brake fluid/ melting rubber. I’m thinking maybe the clutch? It cranks but won’t turn over.

It sounds like the battery has shorted out. To be sure lets us this guide to confirm the issue:
