I might be way off, but Id say stop driving it and get it checked immediately... possible you hit the oil pan and did some serious damage. Have you checked you oil level lately?

Check the 02 sensors. You should definitly get the car up on stands and look all over. I wouldn't drive it with such a serious fault.
