1997 Ford Escort

Yesterday after coming off a roundabout in my ford escort encore 1.3 r reg car when suddenly it had no pickup. It slowly came to a halt. I turned the engine off an on again and it revs but will not go into gear. There was also a strange smell and there is also smoke coming from the exhaust.
