Default Oil pressure and oil light

so in new here but I wanted to post this cause I have no idea what the cause could be. Yesterday I parked my 03 350z and I left for 3 hours (college). When I came back and turned it on. The car was normal but I noticed the oil light on. Then I check my oil pressure and it was at 0. I revéd it a little ( I know I'm dumb) to see if maybe the sensor is not working. After I reved it the light turned off and the oil psi went back to normal. Should I be worried?

Did you open the hood and check the oil level and condition with the dipstick with the car turned off?

the wire that runs to the oil pressure sensor is shorting out on something. Chase that wire, cut out the burnt section, and splice it back together.
