For all we know, you hit something and it took out your oil pan. Or lost a rod and it shot through the pan, block... who knows? The only thing you can do is tow it and have it looked at by a mechanic, the engine will have to be evaluated to determine if it is even repairable. You're looking at either rebuilding the engine or replacing it.
