right now your motor can be saved. Continue to drive it and it will probably end in total destruction and you being stuck on the side of the road.

if you hear knocking, stop driving the damn car and get it fixed.
either drop another used motor in, or rebuild that one.

You spun a bearing. If you continue to drive it, you will throw a rod. Throwing a rod means the engine will throw the rod out the side of the block.
Like the other guys said. Stop driving it.
