Yes, the engine and belts would rotate. It will likely turn very freely, as a number of pistons would not have compression due to bent valves.
Not usually, hitting the valves is often the end of the engine or at least requires a major rebuild.
After changing the time belt there was a big boom and the engine actually jumped, or moved and I was worried that was what I did and I tried to start the engine and all the belts moved
Timing belt maintenance is extremely important. All Hyundai models use interference-type non-freewheeling engines. Should the timing belt break in these engines, the valves in the cylinder head will come in contact with the pistons, causing major engine damage. The recommended replacement interval for timing belts is 60,000 miles.
Your's might not have broke all the way,best to remove cover and see.
