Hello and welcome to HCM,
The presence of smelly odour, green-yellow crusty discharge, bleeding from the belly button suggests that there is infection and injury to the belly button.
The belly button needs to be curettaged for removal of crusts and application of an antibiotic ointment.
However, you need to consult a surgeon for clinical examination of the belly button.
In case there is pus discharge, the pus culture needs to be done.
This investigation will isolate the micro-organism causing the infection.

The pain on both sides of hips and legs can be due to a number of causes.
It could be due to trauma, musculoskeletal pain etc.
Headache can also be due to number of causes.
Consult your doctor for clinical examination and thus further management.

thanks and take care
