Figure out where the smoke came from and start pulling all the melted wires apart making sure that you tape any that are bare copper after that.
If our lucky it might be a componet that was smoking that needs to be replaced.
NEVER UP SIZE A FUSE BECAUSE IT IS BLOWN !!!!!!!
Fuses are used to protect the wires that are feed from it .Otherwise as you will probably find out you should of just let it burn.

If its the crank fuse 30amp that blew like you said then it would have to be a starter problem of some kind or the crank relay itself.
That fuse feeds a purple wire from the under hood fuse box to the starter.
If something in the car was smoking then I think you must of upped the size on a different fuse
possibly the IP gen fuse .
So which fuse was it and be 100% on that .
And where did you notice the smoke come from inside or outside the car.
Follow the purple wire from the starter back to the fuse box first to figure out what got fried.
