maybe the serp belt broke? or altenator bad with overheating problem? the boiling is weird though. check it in the morning if you are at home already.

It would move until the battery died, since the alternator wasn't charging it.
If your belt is fine and you're over heating I would look into a failed water pump or thermostat stuck closed.
