the oil light is based on pressure not level so if you were three quarts down there was still a half a gallon of oil in the motor so so long as you werent tracking it you are probably fine yet. now if your alternator/or battery are going or you have a code for a crank or cam sensor being thrown that would explain why it isn't starting. I can't help you figure out what is wrong until i know if there are codes or if the battery is to low to start it. The battery has to supply almost 400 amps to start the car and power the ignition and fuel pump and if it is run down it may need a charge and then to have an auto parts store check the battery and alternators condition.
If you had siezed the motor it wouldn't crank over right now or it would be making one hell of a noise
