Actually, when I turned the car on, smoke came out from the alternator , and the belt broke. There was a little bit of antifreeze spill there. Could that have something to do with this?

No, it sounds like the alternator locked up. Check and see if the alternator pulley will turn freely. Most auto parts stores will check your alternator for free if you bring it in to them.

I doubt if it was the antifreeze. I suspect you simply over tightened the belt. Another possibility is that the belt was twisted, or it could have been put on the wrong pulley. It is also possible that a pulley is frozen, and not turning fast enough.
Good Luck

Maybe you tightened the belt too much and/or alternator and /or alternator pulley bad,
