Check and see if you still have a drive belt.

Is the drive belt in plane with the other pulleys? Not quite sure what you mean by "engine shifted to front of car" observation?

If you have a bad pulley ad lost the belt, then that is your problem. Repair that.

The serpentine belt routs from the alternator over water pump then crankshaft up around the tensioner & up around the power steering pulleys. The tensioner pulley is out of line with the rest of the pulleys. make any sense?? if so how do i fix it??> ANd also when I said the engine seems to have shifted a little to the front of car the alternator and the water pump pulleys are up against my hoses in front of car on passenger side. Does this make sense??

Tensioner as an assembly should look like this......
Replace that and the belt and hope overheating didn't cause any more problems,

It does not look like that the black part of that pulley is out of line with the assembly
