And how many miles?
Never drive with a problem like this.
The belt came off and then the coolant pump, alternator and power steering went dead. You drove with no coolant circulation and may have boiled and lost coolant. What is the coolant level now? If low or empty, add [the proper] coolant in a 50:50 mix and see how much you need to put in. With coolant level OK and a cold engine, start the engine and idle for a few minutes then shut down. Now check the oil? If milky, you are in deep trouble. If you do this and the engine runs quietly, you can drive to reposition the vehicle for a tow truck or up onto ramps, then shut down.
Coolant may need to be added after a coolant loss as air works its way out of the engine.
You may have damaged the engine. The belt failed, an idler pulley failed and dumped the belt or the coolant pump bearing failed dropped the belt.
You need to get towed to get this fixed.
Pump leak may be from rubber o-rings, but to replace, the pump needs to be removed then it should be replaced anyways.
Preventative maintenance would have avoided all of this.
