You have a serious problem with the steering and or suspension on your car. It needs a mechanic to look it over as soon as possible. I’d even consider towing it to the shop.

You probably lost power assist if the steering feel hard.Check if the p/s fluid is at the correct level and for signs of leakage along both hoses and make sure the serpentine belt is not slipping.

Have someone check for worn upper strut bearings.

Thank you all friends for the advise. I think I should take it to auto shop.
