white smoke is generally coolant.. so you might have popped a head gasket. how much liquid did you see fly out?

you should probably do a compression test to determine if you did break a headgasket. the liquid thing is weird, but you might have broken the gasket enough to allow the cylinder or cylinders to fill with coolant, which would then cause your engine to hydrolock, which is a bad thing.

you can also drain the oil, and if it looks like a milkshake instead of oil,or if there is coolant in it, you need to change your head gasket for sure.

check the exhaust.
white smoke is bad head gasket.
put a towl in the cylinder hole crank the engine and let it blow out if it doesnt compression problems.
and the milky oil previoulsy stated also.
