Default !! Changing oil please help!!

This is the first time changing oil ever for me, but I have been shown how to do it. I took out the oil drain plug and also loosened the oil fill cap, yet only a few drops came out! Anyone have any idea whats going on here? When I check my oil, it says its full. I am really baffled and any help wouuld be appreciated ASAP since I have my car on a jack right now.

I know nothing about your type of car, but since you are in trouble, I'll try. I have worked on a few cars that had a "double hump" oil pan. Where the dumb thing went over a crossbar or brace. It had 2, yes 2, drain plugs. I had the same thought as you, that's why it rings a bell. The one plug only drained maybe 6 ounces, the other side had all the oil. Try looking for a secondary plug.

Maybe the hole clogged up?
Stick a screwdriver in the hole and see if something comes out.
