Not changing the oil and filter can cause the crankshaft's journals to become egg-shaped.

If you threw a rod bearing do you have to get the crank turned?

If the only damage done by the thrown rod bearing is that the crankshaft has become scored at that bearing's location (called a journal), you might be able to get away with having that particular crankshaft journal turned ("turned" here means to have the crankshaft reground and polished to smooth out scratches caused by the thrown rod bearing), as well as replacing the bad rod bearings with oversized (thicker) ones at the journals that were reground, to compensate for the slightly smaller diameter of the reground journals, but often more damage has also been done (bent or broken piston rod, damage to the piston and/or chamber at that location, etc.), requiring more repair or a replacement engine. But it's worth dropping the oil pan to have a look at the damage--you could get lucky.

The crankshaft may not have to be turned if the journals are smooth/undamaged but you should have it checked if you got it in your hand. It could be out of round.
