Loss of power steering, battery icon, and smell of something burning!

My 335d has 55K miles.

All has been normal. Stopped into a supermarket, get a battery icon on the dash, loss of powering steering, and what smells like burning tires.

Car is inside my garage now. What I notice is that the serpentine belt doesn't appear to be moving. It's in tact (belt was replaced at 35K miles), but looks like it's struggling to move, as noticed by staring at one of the upper pulleys connected to the serpentine belt.

What the hell is going on?
