Chemicals should not make that smell. If you have a basic HOB filter you should be able to pretty easily get into the motor. If you can, make sure theres no substrate, skeletons, or hair in it. if your motor is being blocked it will make a louder noise and the flow would be slightly slower but it would still run. You dont want that. If not this, is there a chance you left your filter on during a water change? This could burn out the motor as it would overheat. Always unplug your heater and motor during a WC. If it's none of these problems just keep an eye on it and make sure it doesnt break on you at a bad time.
Dont worry about how the water looks its gonna look bad with all the algae and bacteria blooms but that's just temporary.
