Sounds like oil pump seized

You could have knackered the fuel pump, blocked the filters so that some but not enough oil is getting through, blocked the nozzle, etc. Treat yourself to an engineer and a watchman.

Its either dirt or water in the fuel filter, the filter in the fuel pump or the nozzle filter is dirty. I agree with simonG, time to pick up the phone
