You snapped an axle.
If you get lucky and the axle snapped clean, you can pull it right out
from the hub. there will be the "other end" somewhere, I usually snap
them inside the diff. If you are even luckier, you might be able to
retrieve the "other end" with a good magnet on a stick. Or you will have
to drop the drive shaft, pull the diff off the casing, and retrieve that
broken end.
2 hour job when you do it away from home at an auto cross course with
basic tools in the boot. Much quicker at home in the garage with a real
jack and tools.
