Looks like you need to add oil ASAP. Do not drive it till you check your oil level.

Let's see...

Low oil pressure? Check.
CEL? Check.
Clicking/rattling/soon-to-be knocking? Check.
Rod sticking out the side of the block? Nope, not yet. Guess it's ok to keep driving it.

this sounds exactely like low to no oil in your engine.
