Will Not Resetting After An Oil Change Cause My Car To Stall?

my '97 Buick Regal stopped completely three times today. then the oil symbol and low oil light came on. car restarted each time. car did not turn off if car was not moving. does this have anything to do with the DIC not showing any lights or settings for last 2 months?
