And did it burn the contact switch ? Need help today ! Also turning off the outside disconnect enough or do I need to cut power at the breaker box as well ?

First task - determine _WHY_.
No.
Who knows?
Look up "electrician" in the yellow pages.
If you have to ask....

This is a dangerous situation. Wires are not supposed to melt, in a proper wiring setup a circuit breaker or fuse should blow first.
Get an electrician to determine the cause problem and only then fix the problem.
