Does sounds like the chains are cactus,
but,
I'm tipping the lower plastic chain guide has dislodged/snapped off.

This should have had a better subject, to get a better response/answer,
and been posted in the VZ section,

@Immortality
Can you please move this thread to the appropriate location.

Check powertrain comes on and off and check oil
Check power chain possibly be chain loose, needs to be scanned to see what its recorded.
Check oil meaning no/low oil, and/or oil pump has failed, or is on its last legs,

I wouldn't run it anymore,
Because you could have iron fillings circulating
Tow it, or push it to area where you can work on it,
Id be pulling it down ASAP,
That said, that job requires the correct tools, as its not easy/strait forward job.
