After changing plugs and valve cover gasket on a 2000 Kia Sportage motor started to make a ticking noise and oil light came on. Would it be the oil pump or something else?

first off, check the oil level in the engine changing plugs and valve cover gasket should not affect the oil pump.you might also check to see if oil pressure is showing on gauge in dash

Sometimes a ticking sound is a valve lifter. The faster you go the faster the ticking will be. Make sure first it is not something stuck in a tire or something on the fan belt.

What is the ticking noise in the engine in a Subaru?
A normal ticking is the fuel injectors opening and closing, a very loud ticking with bad mileage and poor performance may be a sticky lifter, aka hydraulic valve lash adjuster. If the latter try something like Marvel's Mystery Oil or another sticky lifter nostrum before launching into a difficuly and expensive replacement.
