The word oy can have a number of meanings depending upon context. Among Ashkenazic Jews, it is an expression of concern or dismay (often in the form, oy vey). Among British youth, it would be an expression of aggression.

What is the correct spelling ovey or ovay?

Neither. I think you are looking for "oi vey," "oi vay," "oy vay," or "oy vay," which all seem to be acceptable alternative spellings.
