I think i killed me 96 cobra help plz!

so i was going for a drive today and i was doing a little pull from about 15mph and i got out of it at about 60 or 70 and my car died as i was slowing down, i was like wtf but anyway it wouldnt start back up at all i thought maybe my fuel pump at first but i was looking at it and i checked the oil it was bone dry! ive never noticed it leaking a drop or burning any so that part confuses me i put some oil in it and tried to crank it. it cranked up but i had a HORRIBLE knocking coming from the drivers side head. What did i mess up? and how much is it gunna hurt my wallet to fix?

Well if you ran it out of Oil I would assume you spun a bearing. And if your not doing the work yourself it wont be cheap
