Red face S40I wont start

I purchased an 04 volvo S40I, it was running fine but i replaced the rotors and break pads and the car was running but after driving about 5 miles the car started to slow down and advised me to up shift but i did and it was just loosing speed, it also said maintenance required then the red oil light came on and i parked the car and now the car wont start. All i get when I try to turn it on is maintenance required, can some one help?

Everything happend so fast, i guess the check engine light came on and the oil light but i guess thats because the car had been shut for over 5 seconds while it still ran. I did check the oil and it has good amount since the oil change was done like a month ago and I havent driven the car much because i was waiting to replace the breaks and rotors. The car wants to start but it just wont.
