Answer
Angel,
You may have a broken piston rod.  But seeing the oil light come on, then a loud clacking noise and white smoke, that sounds like your engine was not receiving oil, overheated due to friction, broke a rod and blew the head gasket.  If that is what in fact happened, this is not an easy repair. Even with a repair manual, it would cost quite a bit of money and take LOTS of time if you do not have experience in engine rebuilds.  This would require upper and lower engine internal repairs.  If this really is the problem, it may be cheaper to simply buy a used engine as a replacement.
Good luck!
