I'm trying to figure out why breaker won't reset after overloading the circuit with space heaters. I even replaced the breaker and it sparked when I tried to reset. I'm planning on checking plugs next to see if the wiring is damaged. Is this a good place to start?

Beware! This sounds like real trouble to me, and you probably need re-wiring. Sparks coming from a breaker sounds ominous, and definitely not something to tackle by yourself. Do call an electrician.
Turn the heaters off. Some draw a lot of amps.
I've turned everything off, unplugged everything and it was still tripping; it's an old house and there's way too much on the one circuit and the renters totally overloaded the circuit so there's a serious problem in the walls, so it's up to a professional now. Thanks.
after tripping , contacts of circuit breakers heated up , it will take some time to cool down , and after that it will work normally
