1998 Other Saturn Models help

My 98 saturn sl stalled going around a turn and would not start again. It would not even crank. The battery seems fine and it weakly tried to turn over the next day, but stopped cranking after two attempts. The starter was replaced less than a year ago. I also have been dealing with a strange creaking sound around the car that also happens on slow turns, could they be somehow related?
The turn I stalled on I took fast, it was a highway off ramp. Any ideas? Help!
