I got my controller hooked up this morning it took a while but I finally got it working it was showing about between 35 and 40 miles an hour on the cycle analyst and then all the sudden it felt like something grabbed in the motorand the motor stopped now when I rotate it by hand it feels like something is grabbing please tell me I haven't destroyed my motor
 
First guess would be that you smoked the controller and shorted the phases. Unplug the phase wires and try rotating the wheel by hand. If it is still hard to turn the phases are shorted in the motor. If it is easier to turn the controller is toast.
There are plenty of threads here that cover trouble shooting so start reading.
If you need more specific help tell us what motor, controller and battery you have.
