The light is NOT a low oil light. It is a low OIL PRESSURE light. You can drive it until the engine seizes. Of course internal engine damage will start to occur as soon as the light comes on and you have no oil pressure if you continue to drive the vehicle.

The engine would have run very rough, and it is possible that you may have lost a little oil, but no permanent damage should have occurred. Check the oil, clean up whatever may have gotten on the engine, replace the oil cap and drive on.

What does it mean when engine has a knock and the oil light is on?
You need to have a compression and oil pressure test run. Do not drive it to the shop. Have it towed. Running this engine in this condition will do some serious damage. You have zero (0) oil pressure and that is why it is knocking and showing no oil pressure. It may be damaged so badly it needs and overhaul. It all depends on how much you drove it after this happened. If you immediately shut it down there may be very little damage. If you continued to drive then it will have serious damage.

It means exactly what it says, low oil pressure. This means you should not drive this vehicle until you get the problem corrected. The oil pressure is not high enough to safely operate the engine. Otherwise you will have severe engine damage.
When changing your oil you smelled fuel in your oil. What could cause this?
Engine running rich. Get this fixed ASAP and do not drive until you do. Serious damage will occur to the engine. If you have electronic fuel ignition and you pump your gas pedal before starting, this can add un-burned fuel to your engine oil.
