power steering issues

Last night while backing my trailer in my yard I turn the wheel real hard to the left heard a moan then a pop and I lost all power steering no power steering fluid leaking in the brakes still work good it just doesn't want to turn the tires unless you're moving or wrapping up the motor did I blow a seal in the power steering pump or is there a another valve somewhere

check to see in the high pressure line is still connected at the pump, it has a little C clip that retains the hose in the fitting that wears over time and then the hose blows out. If that has happened ( pretty common) the only solution is to replace the hose. It is about $50 ish iirc at most parts stores.
