Tires and Wheels problem
1996 Mitsubishi Eclipse 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Manual

when i was taking off i noticed i couldnt turn the wheel easily so i turned off the main road and when i was turning the wheel locked and i hit a curb with my front right tire. I put powersteering fluid in and it got a little better but still hard to turn, the steering fluid tank is full. when i got home i noticed the tire was pushed forward almost hitting the body. so i dont know why its not turning please help!

Sounds like its time for a new power sterring pump and some front end work to straighten out the strut.

Check for possible damage to your control arm.
