Yes, you may still have three coils working, but gas is being injected into one cylinder and may not be burning as there is no spark. It could get past your rings and dilute your oil, which could leave a mark, or it could dump into the exhaust system where the cat is, neither is preferable. Best practices calls for buying a spare and keep it in your trunk and swapping it in at the first sign of trouble. Also, if a swap does not solve your problem, you know the DI is good and you have other problems.
Also, your plugs should be fresh (NGKs only) and properly gapped as old plugs can contribute to the failure.
