Loud sqeauling sound
I changed my front brakes about a month and and left the rotors on, no problem.
So yesterday I changed my hub bearings which were bad, but my rotors were stuck to them so I replaced the rotors as well. Got everything off put everything new back on, and started driving and my front end has this constant squeaking noise, like metal constantly rubbing, Hit the brakes it stills sqeaks until everything stops. The moment I get back to moving it starts back up again. Problem never existed until I changed out everything, pulled over after running it to work this morning and not much but you can see a little smoke coming from my wheels. did I do something wrong when I put them back on or is it major.

Based on the smoke, something is not right. You could have a caliper not fully retracting the piston and now that you have full material on pads and rotors, it's dragging.
You could have something not assembled right or loose.
Best thing to do, get the front end in the air, back wheels secured, car in neutral and spin the wheels, listen and look for issues. Take the wheel off and again, inspect for issues. Re-check the bolts. Have someone press the brake and watch the pad, see if it's moving like it should.
