The heavy white smoke can be a blown head gasket, or the weather is getting colder and there is a lot of moisture in the air which can be normal. Here is a guide to help explain it more:

The car could be in limp mode which will explain it not accelerating. We should run the codes to see which ones are stored so we can fix the problem without guessing. You can get a CAN scanner (Controller Area Network) which will work on most cars from Amazon.

Here is a video to show you how:

Please go over these guides and get back to us.
