I had a low amount of oil and poured almost the whole oil canister into my car. Since then it has been making noises and smelling like something is burning. I think I need to drain the oil out from the bottom but I can't seem to find detailed instructions to assist me.

If your car was run severely low on oil, they you very likely have ruined the engine. I suggest you get it to a reputable shop for diagnosis as soon as possible and I would tow it, not drive it there.
