There is a short somewhere. Probably the condenser fan motor or the compressor. Time to have it checked out by a competent, trusted techenician.

Why ac unit is blowing hot air inside the house but outside unit blows cold air?
Sounds like your system is a heat pump. When a heat pump cools in the summer, the inside coil gets cold and the outside coil gets hot. When the heat pump heats in the winter, the inside coil gets hot, and the outside coil gets cold. It sounds like your heat pump is stuck in heating mode. Check your thermostat to be sure it didn't accidentally get switched to heat. It could be the reversing valve inside the unit is stuck, or an electrical control is broken, forcing the reversing valve to stay in the heating position. Perhaps a call to the serviceman is in order!
How does an electric heat pump work?
An electric heat pump can heat up your home during winter and cool it during summer.
Why is there an electric heating coil in a heat pump?
Heat pumps don't work well when the temperature outside drops below 40 degrees Fahrenheit. The way a heat pump works is by absorbing heat from outside and moving inside using the refrigerant. Much like an air conditioner absorbs the heat from inside of your home and moves it out. Therefore the colder it is outside the less heat a heat pump can produce. The reason they install electric heat strips is to ensure that when the temperature outside gets below 40 you will still have enough heat available to heat the property.
What is em heat?
On a thermostat, "EM heating" stands for emergency heating. It heats your house up very quickly, and is costly to run. This is suppose to be used if you've lost heat from your heat pump or if you've turned your thermostat way down and need to heat up your house quickly.
What does the EM heat mean on your thermostat for your central AC heating unit?
If you have a heat pump A/C unit then you have auxillary heat and emergency heat. The EM stands for emergency heat, which is using only your electric heat strips or gas heat, depending on your system. The auxillary heat uses your compressor inside of your outside unit. Say the house is 60 degrees inside and you set your stat to 70, the temperature difference is so great that if the heat pump alone cannot satisfy, then the auxillary heat would come on to assist the heat pump. Say you were to get a leak in either your condenser or evaporator coils, your heat pump would not work on the regular heat setting on the tstat. In this circumstance you would want to use just the emergency heat until a service tech can evaluate the system.
