Safety Question Car tow experience. Is this normal?

Hi there, I was surprised to find my car got towed yesterday after being in front of my OWN garage for 15 minutes! Oh well lesson learned..: still feels a bit predatory though but I can get past it. So I went to pick it up last night around 6pm, paid my fines for being a criminal and then drove it home for the night and went to bed soon after.

Flash forward to this morning and I see my car in absolute agony ( see pics ). I have hit bumps so hard my heart dropped. I’ve hit bumps so hard I screwed up the alignment and had to get that fixed. So much construction in my area I hit bumps almost everyday. But I know I didn’t hit any bumps last night to this caliber. So im just wondering if anyone has had a similar experience? If so what do? And what is that white substance??? This is the oil pan right?
