Sir if the starter is not even turning im sorry to inform your engine might be broken. Lack of oil could be the reason. I d reccomend to send to a mechanic shop inmediately.
This is a fairly common problem with naturally-aspirated engines as they age, because the oxygen sensors become contaminated and do not operate as effectively, plus the idle air controls become sluggish in their operation and fail to adjust quickly enough. If the CHECK ENGINE light is on, check the codes, and most likely you will find that one or more of the oxygen sensors are at fault.
Try starting the car while holding the throttle at 1/3 to 1/2 until it starts. If it starts more easily that way, do that each time you start the car when it's warm. Replacing the oxygen sensors and the idle air control will solve the problem but part-throttle starting will save time and money in the meantime if the trick works.
I would be suspecting a faulty condenser and coil as when they reach operating temperature they start to break down electrically.. Check that the auto choke is coming off and not tending to over fuel the engine
Oil pressure drop after reaching operating temp is normally caused by worn main bearings (depending on mileage).Worn bearings will allow pressure drop at idle and increase when accelerated above idle.
