Driving with low/no oil pressure will ruin your engine within minutes. I destroyed the engine in my MGB in less than 15 seconds.
The easiest bet is to buy a $10 oil guage, remove the stock oil pressure switch, and get a visual confirmation that you have oil pressure. If you do, suspect the switch.
If the oil pressure is bad, it gets hard to diagnose without engine disassembly. Excessive bearing clearances (ie - worn engine) will cause low oil pressure. A failed oil pump or drive mechanism will cause no oil pressure.
If you have no mechanical aptitude, have it towed to a mechanic.
