Hello I have a 1999 intrigue that will not start. For a couple of months upon acceleration you could feel something like a kick and then it would drive fine. Then one day after driving all day wiith no problem it started making this knocking sound. The next day it would not start. It will not turn over. When I try to crank it it sounds like a ticking then a pop. Also I never see oil where im park but the low oil light use to come on even after putting oil in it weeks prior.

I hope you didn't ruin the engine, you sure need to check oil pressure. Is the engine froze? Can you turn the crankshaft by hand, either at the crankshaft pulley or flywheel? Removing belts and spark plugs should make it easier to turn, if it isn't frozen?
