Check whether the power steering (PS) fluid is low or whether the PS belt is loose.

You might want to try tightening the PS belt or replacing it. If this doesn't help, then your PS pump may be bad.

Creaking noise could be one of the suspension components. Have someone turn the wheel while you stand outside and listen to see if it's coming more from one wheel than the other.

You can rule out the power steering system entirely by doing that test with the engine off.
