I changed the lower control arm on right side, after doing this I went for a ride and now the steering wheel is not straight and when I try to go it shows ESC active on drivers readout on dash and when the right brake is applied. it worked fine before replacing lower control arm. help!

Replacing the control arm should not have changed center on the steering wheel unless you removed a tie rod. As far s the ESC issue, my first guess is that the ABS sensor has been damaged, disconnected, or the wiring have been damaged to it. ESC depends on the ABS sensors to determine what is best to maintain stability.
