I can barely understand your post.
Did you reset 2 breakers? Are you confident that one went to the outdoor unit and one went to the indoor unit? Tripping the condenser and furnace breaker would be very unusual.
Do you have the correct voltage entering each unit at this time?

Hi,
it is an all outside unit with a heat pump..........the breakers in the main panel in the garage tripped and the outside breaker tripped as well, the one by the unit...the heat pump breaker did not trip however...............did not check voltage.......just a cheap lighted tester 240 on both breakers

You will probably need a better multimeter but a visual inspection of the wires for melted connections and a look at the capacitors for swelling would be an easy check.
Turn the power off before checking in the control panel of your package unit.
Inspect the crank case heater if you have one around the compressor for burned connections as well. It looks like a large hose clamp most of the time.
The compressor terminals would be another cause for this problem. You should wear safety glasses before removing the cover over the compressor connections because if they are severely burned there is a hazard of them blowing refrigerant out at your eyes.

Can we get a closer shot of the run capacitor in your top picture. It is the small V8 sized canister by the blower.

all good today and last night
was thinking about replacing with another package unit........................that is what I have and I really don't like the look on the side of my house, but might be my cheapest way
place in tampa sells to public.................they have a 2.5 goodman with a heat pump for like 1800 dollars or so
was wondering your thoughts and If you would not mind helping me find a good replacement.....one that I could just wire up and connect duct work and I guess open a valve and whala
