More than likely a complete rebuild is in order.

Will the engine turn over? Can you turn it over with the pull start? If it will turn over, you could possibly get it to run but it won't run very well.

Since everything in the engine and transmission share the same oil, there could also be damage to the transmission gears as well as a load of other problems.

If it quit while you were using it, then it most likely will need a complete rebuild. since the damage is from lack of lubrication, the rebuild will be pretty detailed. From your comments, I would recommend you get an experienced mechanic to help you. You might check out the cost difference of a rebuilt engine instead of trying to do it yourself.
