You will need to get the codes scanned anf find out what code you have. Around here Autozone does it for free. Once you have the code then you have a beginning point to diagnose the reason the check engine light came on.
What is worrisome is the check engine light is blinking.
If the Check engine light is on solid then, generally, the problem isn't usually a big deal. If the light is blinking however, the it means that continuous driving will destroy the catalytic converter. You will need to get this fixed fairly quickly.
Best of luck.
