After a stalled engine stalls, it's normal the oil light and battery light come on. The stopped engine is not making oil pressure, nor is the alternator charging the battery. Good observation, but the question is why did it stall? If the check engine light blinked at you, it detected a very brief fault that may get worse. So scan for codes anyway and see what's going on. It may have stored that code for you.
