Drain oil look for sparkly oil, pull oil filter cut it open and look for more sparkles, sounds like spun bearing.

If the oil is sparkly, and it is in fact a spun bearing, what should I do? Besides for changing the oil obviously..

If the bearing spun you're probably going to need a new crank or have your stock crank machined. You'll also need all new bearings. It certainly sounds like you spun a bearing, hope you didn't drive it to far...
