Default Motor won't crank after putting new oil pan on?

Good evening

I have a 2008 civic si, and a few days ago I hit something solid in the road and cracked the oil pan, which I was unaware of driving. After losing oil pressure the like came on and I pulled the car over and shut the engine off. Now that I've got the new oil pan on and everything back together, I can't get it to start. Is there something I need to reset? I don't know what to do.

is the engine turning over on the starter and not firing up or not even turning on the starter??

Id say you have knocked/damaged/disconnected something while changing it!

Since the oil pan is down low, i would start my checking the crankshaft sensor and anything else it the same area!

If you hit something solid, its possible you tripped an inertia switch either!

It's turning over, but just not firing up. It's like it's either not getting fuel or fire.

I would unplug the battery for a few hours... maybe the ECU has built in protection from engine oil being low and it wont let it fire up.
