Could you comment with the Make and Model of the microwave?On most Combination Microwaves, (The ones with oven grill and microwave functions), the Convection feature is usually a setting you have to select for it to work. So the obviously silly answer is to simply not select it.
Another option is to buy a more basic microwave that only has the microwave function.
This is an indicator that the magnetron has failed, especially when it is followed by a loud sound, but there are two other parts that can be a factor, the high voltage capacitor and diode. The Convection/Microwave Oven needs to be assessed for parts and labor and cost.
You had something metal inside the microwave. Do you have a rack inside on a revolving tray? On my microwave, if the foot of the wire rack is not on the revolving tray, it will spark against the floor of the oven. Microwave will go around round pieces of metal - it will spark if it finds a flat surface. I dont think you did any damage to your machine but try to not do this again.

This is a sure sign that the MAGNATRON unit has went out on your oven and will need replaced! (This is what cooks the food!)
