The car steers really hard, the battery light came on and the indicator of cold or hot was going to hot. We shut it off and it started again but we shut it back off and we have not moved it. What is it?

Or if it's a serpatine belt, one belt for all accesories, check the belt tenisnor. If it has lost tenison, the belt would appear find but not enough pressure on rotate accesories.

Try greasing the front end and check the air in the tires the indicator is totally different pro--Make sure the coolant is at the proper level. There may have been an air pocket in the system, most time they will work their way out, and leaves the coolant level low. If not, you may need to check for an air pocket.

Check for broken belts. Sounds like your belt that drtives ;your alternator and power steering pump may broken.
