Please all of a sudden, my car has started draining engine oil and also while smelling smoke from my exhaust when accelerating. Sometimes it will be jerking and then the smoke will start coming when driving. Please can you please help me with any solution?

Typically, there are three main places the oil can leak from, the oil drain plug, the oil filter or the oil pressure sender so I would check all three things. Also, here is a guide that can help as well:
