The oil pressure gage and starting are probably not related.
Either you are not getting fuel or have no spark.
Can you hear the fuel pump run for a few seconds with key turned to the on position?
When was the last time the fuel filter was changed?
Do not floor the gas pedal when trying to start, that caused the fuel injectors to shut off.
On the passenger side kick panel there is an inertia switch that shuts the fuel pump off in a crash, check to see that the red button is pushed down.
A fuel pressure test will help tell you which way to go, and you can rent/borrow a test gage at the big box auto parts stores for free.
Good luck
