What does it mean when the battery light comes on an the car is harder to steer?

04 honda accord.

only problem is the electric system.
i mean, i have to punch the left headlight to turn it on.

but today during the rain, i saw the battery light turn on and then when i made a left turn, the steering wheel was harder to turn.
like something was stuck between the wheel or something. But then the wheel was back to normal like nothing happened.
i remember hearing noises like a whimpering dog in pain. But no dog.
maybe something broke?

i dont have power steering.
