I have a 1994 Toyota Corolla with a knock in the engine. The car was running fine for the first 2 months I owned it but it burns oil (something the previous owner did not disclose). The oil sensor must have a short because it never showed that I was low on oil until it was already nearly dry and making a noise. I immediately filled it with oil and the noise seemed to be going away (I just idled it and then drove it around the parking lot a couple times). I tried driving it to the gas station and back but the noise came back and now it stalls, won't start unless gas is depressed. How do I fix it?

You will (if you want to) have to remove oil pan and inspect rod bearings, rotate rod to bottom, grasp rod if any play you probably spun a rod bearing. Check main bearings by removing main bearing cap and inspecting main bearing.

You can do this, but you most likely spun a rod/main bearing and will have to remove rebuild lower engine, or just look for a good used engine from junkyard and replace.
