1999 9-5 SE: ran engine low on oil, now exhaust smoke

Hi All,
Any info is helpful!
My 1999 9-5 SE
Oil indicator light did not come on, ever!
Had oil changed 300 miles ago, mechanic said a couple small leaks
and haven't been driving it too much...
Took car out for short drive and returned with intention of checking oil.
When I went to start it to move it to level ground for oil check=
Would not turn over,
Immediately checked oil and it was at min mark
Added 1 qt and kept trying to turn over,
finally got it going, running a little rough and smoke coming out of exhaust....dipstick reads good oil levels, but still mildly smoking
Should I run an engine cleaner through??
How do I know if I burnt it (hope not!)?
Could I have created an army of sludge by unwittingly running it low on oil??>?
Any help appreciated!
Thanks
