Most likely your gauge went kaput, but it's possible for an oil pump to fail (more likely the oil pump pickup sucked up something that plugged it). A car will seem to idle fine for a few minutes without oil pressure. Borrow a mechanical oil pressure gauge and hook it up, verify you have oil pressure. If so, fix your gauge or install a mechanical gauge permanently.

probably some animal got in the engine bay and chewed the wire or knocked it loose.

it's a yellow wire with a black line that comes between the valve cover and the timing backing plate (passenger side..... ) and down the exhaust side of the motor. Oil pressure sensor is 1/2 way down the block and is about 1" diameter and sticks out about 1" from the block....
