If your oil level is full and you have low oil pressure it can be nothing more than a defective oil pressure sending unit or defective gauge. But, it can also be a weak oil pump. I would replace the filter first thing and add enough oil to reach the full mark and see if the condition goes away. If not, then replace the oil pressure sending unit.

Will low oil pressure on an 89 Chevy Celebrity prevent it from starting?
No I would not expect low oil pressure to keep the engine from starting. Depending on how low the pressure is it might not be a good idea to run the engine much until the low oil pressure problem is corrected. Since there is no gauge built in on that year Celebrity I assume that the oil pressure light is on. Low oil pressure can be caused by a number of problems including failing oil pump, clogged oil filter, low on oil or loose bearings as well as a failing oil pressure sensor. When the pressure sensor fails it tends to show low oil pressure and if that is the cause then replacing the sensor can fix the problem. If it were my car I would first hook up an oil pressure gauge and find out what the pressure is before I attempted to fix the problem. Pressure should be at least 30 psi.
