Default Motor shot?

Hey guys,

So I have a 98 Camaro with LS1 and 6 speed. I drove it to work Monday and it drove completely fine with no prob. Let the car set for two days due to me leaving town. when I cranked it yesterday it sounds like something is broking inside the motor and is knocking and rattling.

I have know clue what has happened here any ideas. ... the motor is also now leaking oil out the back
