Do not drive. Stop as soon as it’s safe to do so — don’t keep going.
The oil film in the bearings is already breaking down. Every minute under load is metal on metal on the crank journals.

Shut the engine down. Check the oil level with the dipstick and look underneath for leaks. Don’t restart until pressure is back.
