PLEASE HELP ME!

I have a '85 F-250 Ford Diesel 6.9LT, I ran it low on oil. I got home checked oil and none showed up on dipstick so I added oil til it did. Ok I got it started and let it idle for like 20 minutes. It was amking a clicking sound. Sounded like it came from the back of the engine right around where the back valve is and I thought it was that so I shut it off. then decided to take it out and the noise got really bad to where it clicked louder and full time so I pulled over and it died been dead since then. I started it today, it turns over but wont run I do have 1 battery that is not in the best shape.

Did I blow it up?

PLEASE HELP me! Do i need a NEW Crankshaft ( I heard they costed a pretty penny) and all To fix it?

Sounds worse than just a crank, you may have spun a main bearing. At which you need a new motor. You first need to install two good batteries and see what happends when you try and start it. If it turns slow or hard, than you have a spun bearing. By the way, how much oil did you have to add?
