If your oil level is good, then it's either an oil sender going bad, or an oil pump going bad.
Why does your Oil light come on and you can't accelerate well after you stop at a stop sign or red light?
The oil light is a red warning light that is telling you that the engine oil pressure is low or non-existent and to stop. Severe engine damage will occur if you continue to drive the vehicle. I would suspect you have already done serious damage to this engine. It is not accelerating very well because it is dying from a lack of lubrication. Remember RED means STOP.

Why does the Oil light not come on when oil is low?
Oil light senses oil pressure not oil level
What causes the oil light to come on when the oil is full on a 1995 pontiac firebird?
The light is not an oil light, it is an oil pressure warning light. It is on because you have low oil pressure. Stop driving this vehicle until you find out why the pressure is low. I would start by replacing the oil pressure sending unit as it may be defective. It that does not solve the problem then seek professional help.
Will the check engine light come on with no oil in the car?
No, the check engine light has nothing to do with the oil level in the vehicle. The check engine light will come on when there is a problem with the emission system. The red oil warning light will come on if your vehicle is low on oil.
