Did your drain bolt fall out? Oil that is? Or sensor?

I will check the oil filter. would that cause all the oil to just drain out over night? The light saying stop engine oil pressure was a day befor this it only flashed once I turned it off after about 3 more miles I was on the interstate I thought it could be damage from that the leak

If oil filter is on bottom of engine upside down or even horizontally screwed on. I have had vehicles come in with close to no oil in cranckcase due to unscrewed filters.
