Is there any way an engine on one side goes out and engines on the other side makes it turn. I'm having a discussion with my cousin and he's thinking this could happen like outboard motors which i disagree with.
Yes. Big ships have multiple propellers. Steering is commonly done be reversing the thrust direction some of the propellers on one side of the ship, while the other propellers thrust in the opposite direction. Losing power to half of the props could likely turn the ship.

I’m pretty sure this is a single engine and propeller ship, maybe someone can clarify
