the light isn't an oil level light, it's an oil pressure light, no amount of topping up will fix the light if it is about to expire.
Probably the lead just fell off.
Do you know what to look for ?

temp sensor is the one behind the oil pressure (slightly to the right and screwed in horizontally) that is on a 2000 car
If yours is an early car it is screwed into the same cross pipe but on the back of it behind the manifold.
Put down the spanner and step away from the vehicle.
