Is it a new build?

Is it just a new engine change?

Faulty wire from oil sender maybe?

Maybe a blocked pickup pipe?

Maybe a dodgy oil pump.

Answers to the first 2 questions may get the ball rolling better.

Stuck oil pressure relief valve. Do not start the engine again! Nylon valve from sbd, done.

Worse could be a genuine lack of oil pressure =bye bye engine
