Sounds like you have a cv joint that failed. You'll need to get an axle put in.

Climb under and take a look in the front. There is an axle on both sides that go from the transmission to each wheel. On both sides of each axle, there are rubber bellowed boots that protect the cv joints. Look for one of them ripped as a tell tale sign of which axle.
