yesterday was driving & car is losing power/sputtering. Got a ticking sound coming from drivers side. Idle is sputtering also. Maybe burnt valve? Stuck lifter?

I'd inspect the plug wires on that side first, then I'd pull the valve cover (if you can tell the nosie is from there) and check on the rockers first, maybe broken stud, loose rocker, bent pushrod...
