In best case scenario it is only an electrical glitch in the oil pressure switch and in the worst case scenario you might need a new engine.
You should be careful and not drive the car since you don't know the real reason why the light came on. It might save you some money to take a tow truck to the nearest Saab shop.
You can search using the word sludge and read up on the topic. That might be what have happened and that the oil pick up screen is clogged, starving the engine of oil.
This is what the oil pick up screen inside oil pan looks like when plugged up.
