Have you checked the oil level?

And yes, your pump may be going bad.

turn the car off and don't turn it back on until you find what's wrong.

You may have not gotten the seal off the old oil filter and it was stuck on the block, then the oil will leave the motor and the oil pump will start sucking air, causing your light to come on.
