If a front strut assembly was to go bad, what kind of noises would it make? On a fwd car.

Like the strut bearing, strut mount or isolater plate.

Would they squeak, have a rubbing noise? I'm pretty sure a bad strut bearing will have a binding noise in park when i turn the wheel but why in motion it should be a little quieter. Would the isolated/mount do a clunk?

Yes they will clunk and can squeak. They still make the same noises under motion it's just you can't hear it as well due to the other noises the car is making while moving.

Generally, moaning and grunting. Though I have come across a couple screamers over the years.

You'll hear the worst noises in a strut at low speeds, esp parking, low speed maneuvers, etc.
