Car Made A Grinding Noise, Won't Work?

I drive a 2005 Ford Focus. When I got in my car and turned the ignition, it made a loud screeching noise. I was able to idle a little, but eventually, it stopped altogether. There's some fluid on the ground and it is below freezing out. Any ideas?

What color is the fluid?

But any fluid leak is of a major concern and the vehicle should be inspected before being driven.

It's hard to say. It's dark out at this point. :/
