Car trouble. Any ideas what it might be?

I was pulling my car out of the drive way just now and the wheel jerked, along with grinding noise and was hard to turn. As I drove a little, it was very hard to turn. The power steering fluid looks fine. Doesn't look like a leak anywhere that I can think of. It was fine this morning when I drove it and has only just now acted up.

I have a hyundai elantra. I think 1999.

Anyone have any ideas what it might be. I'll try to get it to the mechanic Monday if possible, but otherwise I won't be driving it until I can get there.

Update:

Thanks, hadn't thought about that, but very well may be the power steering belt or power steering fluid pump.

When I looked under the hood ealier one belt was frayed a bit, but wasn't sure what it was to. So, could very well be the belt going on me.

    There are so many things it could be. But since you have a mechanic the best thing to do is have the car towed to him. If you try to drive it you may cause more damage adding $$$ to the repair.
