RecordField default_to_avro produces non serializable output
**Describe the bug**
When having a nested model the avro_schema function of the model fails if the nested attribute contains a non json serializable field e.g. datetime.

**To Reproduce**
```python
import dataclasses
from dataclasses_avroschema import AvroModel
from datetime import datetime

@dataclasses.dataclass
class Metadata(AvroModel):
     event_time: datetime = dataclasses.field(default_factory=datetime.utcnow, default=dataclasses.MISSING)

@dataclasses.dataclass
class Record(AvroModel):
    metadata: Metadata = dataclasses.field(default_factory=lambda: Metadata(), default=dataclasses.MISSING)

Record()
# Out: Record(metadata=Metadata(event_time=datetime.datetime(2023, 8, 5, 7, 32, 27, 798392)))

Record.avro_schema()

# Fails with: TypeError: Object of type datetime is not JSON serializable
```

**Expected behavior**
Should produce the avor schema with default of datetime as string

As for my understanding it is due to `RecordField.default_to_avro` simply calling the `to_dict` function on the value provided.
As far as I can tell the `default_to_avro` is only called on rendering, so it should be fine to do `json.loads(value.to_json())` here.

Edit: fixed suggested fix to use `to_json()`
