Welcome to FTE.
How do you know it's a rod? Usually you don't hear much other than a knock--if there is enough friction to cause a screech, they usually sieze and break the rod, sawing the block open with the remaining piece spinning around in there.

Probly the # 4 or 8 rod. Those are the last in line to get oil. Keep running it and it'll stop. 
Only then you'll have a hole in the block, if lucky only a broken rod jammed inside the block. Plus the crank is likely damaged beyond turning to repair it.

I kept running mine - didn't get a hole in the block but had a really cool dent in the oil pan : }
