Was engine oil level, full? Yes, it could be the oil pump? I wouldn't drive it till you find out the issue.

I had to drive it home but the oil level was full how much roughly would it be to fix the problem or would it be time to look for a new car

Just to add on this -It depends on your present mileage for a new car-you need to have the oil pressure read this will tell you if you need a new car or bottom end work-try changing to a thicker oil and replace the filter and see what happens-again do not drive it as suggested

Your ride home just cost you a engine. When a car breaks just have it towed its a lot cheeper.
