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.

you checked the oil level or the number of miles you driven???

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