probably bent something and the bearings are whinning .. I would start with a new pulley before the bearings lock up.
It be good if you identify which pulley we are talking about.
Another suspect is the water pump .. that impeller pulley of the water pump cant take much abuse, including the failure of a belt.
all of it, easily done by anyone with tool skills.
