    You've spun a bearing. Depending on how much damage there is the solution could range from just replacing the bearings to replacing the crankshaft and bearings. Honestly though, it would probably be cheaper to replace the entire engine with one from a wreckers yard or to sell it and get another car.

    Unfortunately, knocking noises are usually an indication of a serious engine problem.

    You will most likely need to have the engine rebuilt or replaced.

    Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

    Good luck.

    I guess you should go and tell the mechanic about that?

    sounds like the oil pump went out. depending on how much you drove it like that, the motor could have been damaged.
