I agree but would add:

Its an electrical pressure gauge on an ES, so first check the wiring and connections, also the sender. If they check out OK, verify whether you actually have oil pressure or not, first by seeing if there is oil coming out, and then with a mechanical gauge. If you actually have no pressure, pull the dist and pull the oil pump drive gear/shaft. The connection between the shaft and pump could have failed. With the dist and pump drive out you can manually rotate the pump and bring oil pressure up if it the pump is still working.

Also agree that if there was a failure and no pressure that there is likely bearing damage.
