Chances are you ran out of oil. Check how much oil you have, oh and don't drive your car anywhere.

Cheers.

Chunks of your bearings are causing flow issues .

Or your oil pump could be going out.

the red neck way pull the valve cover off start the car if you have oil pressure it will spray oil all over the place. The proper way by the oil filter is your pressure sending unit take it out and thread in a working oil pressure gauge. min oil pressure at idle is around 10psi min oil pressure at 5k (i think its 5k) around 50psi call the deal if you don't know they will tell you the oil pressure and rpms over the phone

Well the obvious first thing you should do is check your dipstick and add accordingly.
