From what I hear the engine will turn off if it overheats... was the oil foamy, you might have blown a head gasket if it got too hot. This might explain why there is “more oil” on the dipstick also. The thudding noise could have been a spun bearing from it overheating or revving too high. How many miles are on this engine? I’d say start by draining the oil and see if its nasty and has coolant in it. If so, there will be at least a head gasket to change. Then check the bottom of the drain pan for a ton of metal shavings if so a bearing more then likely spun.
