Long story short: I backed up out of my friend's driveway thing and went over a wall that was about a foot or so high. The two back tires went down onto the sidewalk while the left front wheel was on the wall and the right front tire was on the grass. Basically the car was at an angle. To get it off the wall I had to move it around which totally scraped and bumped the bottom of the car which is horrible. I know. About and hour later after getting the car off the wall I noticed it started making weird sounds when I accelerate. It's a kind of grinding or maybe a catching sound. I can't get over 20 mph without it making the sound or when I push the acceleration at all. My brakes were already squeaking before this happened.

I am taking it home on Friday and to the mechanic on Monday because that's the only time I can go. Is it safe to drive home for an hour and a half?
 
No, it is not safe to drive it.
Have it put on a lift and checked over - obviously, something is bent, crushed or broken.
