Crawl up under the car and see what's bent up before asking.

Have the car scanned to see what code it's throwing.

Might have crushed the cat or broken something under there. Maybe the exhaust broke loose.. I'd look under there and make sure everything is still connected...like Harley-Davidson88 said, check your 02 Sensors..
