Support the load whatever it is, roof, second floor, generally by putting a temporary beam under the joist inside of the existing wall, tear the wall out and put in a beam to carry the load.

These are the general steps, each project is going to be slightly different and has to be figured on it's own.

You removed a load bearing wall they had reinforced the post and put in a beam 2 months later you are noticing cracks in the wall and a previous crack had lengthened what are my walls saying?

If cracks are appearing, the beam that was used was not big enough. For any space of 8 feet or more, 2x12 and plywood should be used for the beam or an engineered truss used.
