Default Burning Smell

Hi I have a 95 del sol vtec with 136k on it I just changed to synthetic oil (royal purple) yesterday and today I finally drove the car to work (first long trip) and i noticed there is a burning smell coming from the front right wheel (pass side) and I saw smoke coming from there.... My breaks seem fine I dont know if this is related or not any suggestions ?

Also the car runs fine and smooth (better than before)

check your wheel bearings, my mom (I know) had a wheel fire in her volvo 240 turbo due to the bearings not being properly lubed
