When I accelerate my car makes a knocking sound and shakes and it’s all in the front and you can hear it and record the sounds. No check engine light is on but it’s getting worse. It does it when I coast as well or use cruise control.

Thanks for the video, it helps. It sounds like you have a CV axle or suspension arm that might be bad, I would put the car on a hoist or jack stands to check over the components. With noises like this I don't think you should drive the car anymore until it has been inspected. Here are the parts I would look at first. Here is a guide that can help as well:
