How to Repair

If did'nt remove ground wire could have shorted out the heating element.

that isn't a model number,open the door to the dryer,look around the opening where you put the clothes in and send the full model number,

The belt goes around the pulley of the motor after fitting it around the drum first.

yes............the 2 round bits are the thermostats.......these need changing in pairs.......not just 1 of them

Sounds like the drive belt has gone,and the noise you can hear is the motor going round.
The red glow you can see, will be the heater element glowing..
To check the belt, remove top cover, and you will be able to see if the belt is on or not, if you can see it round the drum, try to lift it up, if it has not broken,then you will not be able to remove it, and that means the motor or drum could be siezed, try to turn the drum by hand, it should be fairly stiff to turn, but not that stiff that you cannot turn it at all.

how many fuses are there in a hotpoint tumble dryer CTD00 aquarius I know one is in the plug is there another one if so where is it?

Most likely it is some sort of blockage in the vent, although it could be a bad blower. Check the lint filter and vent openings for a blockage.
