Clanging sound

I have a 2004 KIA Spectra, I was driving home last night and a loud clanging noise started coming from the engine. I drove home, about five miles and checked the oil, it was very low, I added some oil and the clanging is still there. Have I ruined my car? no oil light ever came on and I have my oil changed regularly.....any suggestions on what this could be? The car has 25,800 miles. Thank you, Dana

How low was it? If oil light never came on then it shouldnt have hurt it.
