Default 96 3.8L V6 RS help

Hey there, I'm new to the forums and working on cars in general, so please do be kind.
My black hardtop camaro suddenly started to make a ticking noise that came from the engine. There was white smoke coming out of the exhaust and a bit from under the engine. The car began to lose power so i tried giving it a bit more gas, which did nothing but prolong it. After a gradual slowing down, the car died. Many minutes later i am able to restart it, but just barely. The engine now idles incredibly hard, shaking, and making the same ticking noise. Ideas? (Note: I am relatively new to working on cars)
