Angry In trouble and need help

My car overheated due to low oil. (oil light didnt come on until it was smoking)
So, I filled up the car with oil and drove and car temp went down but still smoking in front. NO white smoke, NO milky dip stick, NO water or oil leaking everywhere but the car eventually stalled.
Towed the car home. Waited the next day and try to start the car and clicking noise. I jumped the car and still same clicking noise. I took out the starter and had it checked, it works fine. Put everything back together and I still get clicking noise...HELP!!! I dont know what to do.

Have the battery checked. It may be weak. Normally when you jump the car, you need to leave it connected and running (the good car) for about 3 minutes before trying to start the car.

If the car is leaking oil it may have low compression. You need to do a compression test or have one done.
