Drain the oil, if you find metal when you drain the oil then I wouldn't bother to change the oil and filter until you find out what failed and repair it. If no metal then go get a NAPA1410 or Wix51410 filter and some hydro oil from Wally world or TSC and do a change. If that doesn't get it going drain the new oil into a clean container so that you can reuse it. At this point you don't have much to lose. The fact that the shaft coming out of the back is spinning and it's making bad sounds is not a good sign.
