I hope I'm wrong but it sounds like the timing belt may have broken and that may also damage the engine valves and pistons as they can hit one another and break/bend. If your car has a lot more than 100K miles the belt should have been inspected for wear and possibly replaced back then. You may have to trade as-is rather than repair it. This is the worst case scenario if I'm right and I might be wrong, I hope.
