You need oil in the compressor just as you need oil in your engine. If there is no oil, it will lock up and seize internally. yes it can cause damage to the bearings in the compressor. The unit has oil in it to lube
What causes AC compressor to burn while charging freon?
Oil starvation is one possibility. The refrigerant is what transports the compressor oil through the system - an insufficient amount of refrigerant won't properly transport the oil, and it'll starve the compressor of lubricating oil. And insufficient amount of compressor oil in the first place could also be a cause, especially if you're charging a dry system. If you did add oil, did you spill any on the compressor? Because I've seen that cause what you're describing, as well.
