If you were losing/had no oil pressure and kept driving, best case is your oil pressure sending unit is intermittent, worst case your oil pump is failing and likely trashed the rod and main bearings. Not likely you're going to see much by just dropping the oil pan other than potential glitter/bearing shavings in the oil. I would pull a couple rod and main caps to check the bearings.
