did you get also ABS and ARIBAG lamps ON?
I think your alternator or battery went bad.
try recharge your battery, then start the car and measure voltage on the terminals.

Definitely sounds like alternator trouble. The hot muffler is probably from the car dumping fuel into the exhaust, because the car is misfiring (not able to generate enough current for proper spark).
