Check the wire that attaches to the sending unit in the engine bay.

Spark plug side of the motor, to the right of the sparkplugs. Tends to fall off regularly on my car. Hope that is your problem..

Sounds more like you hit a bump and knocked the sensor wire off the sending unit in the engine bay. The oil pressure sending unit is located just under the oil filter. It's a large cylindrical object with one wire connected to it. The wire has a tendancy to fall off. I took a small peice of aluminum foil, slipped it inside the wire's "plug" and made the fit tighter once everything is reattached. It happens often, dont worry, if you didnt have oil pressure your engine would die in less than 30 seconds.
