I'm a novice, but this can't be good

Hi guys. I've got a 633 that I was driving the other night. I don't know what happened, but I heard a boom. At that point, the oil light (or is it oil pressure light?) in the dash lit up, power steering went out, engine began to overheat, and I started hearing the fan blade catching. I popped the hood and the fan blade had a few chunks missing from it.

Took the car to a friend and he noticed the drive shaft was moving back and forth. Apparently, whatever connects the drive shaft and the crank shaft came off. I'm told I have the bolt holding them together, but the nut and washer fell off? Does this make any sense to anyone and where do you recommend I buy new parts?

The oil light in the testing panel works fine. Is the one in the dash for oil pressure or oil temp?

Thanks, guys!
