Okay so recently I hit a rock in my 2000 Jetta 5 speed 4 cyl, after it bottomed out the engine got real loud and wasn't accelerating how it should be, I pulled over got it towed home the next morn, I baught and installed a new oil pan and when I start my car it still sounds like Sh!t , doesn't accelerate how it should and the oil pressure light will not go off, I have a video of what it sounds like when it starts up here http://www.youtube.com/...youtube_gdata_player. Any help would be nice thanks!

An engine with no oil pressure as it seems it ran out of oil and was driven long enough which isn't very long to do severe damage. Oil light is not there for amusement but I think the damage is done and may need a new engine already and yes just that fast. The lack of power is it's tearing itself up from lack of lubrication by all odds. Doesn't matter if low oil pressure is from lack of oil or pump failure it still isn't getting absolutely necessary lubrication and extent of damage could easily exceed cost of a replacement or "game over" for that car possible unless you want to spend more than it's probably worth,

Sounds like a diesel. Lifters must be collapsed due to lack of oil pressure.
I wonder what the old oil pan looks like? The oil pans on those are aluminum, so it must of popped a hole or cracked it. Doesn't take long at all to grenade an engine with no oil pressure or oil in it.
Since we volunteer our time and knowledge, we ask for you to please follow up when a problem is resolved.

Yup. Just the time of the video with oil light on, sounding like that damaged it even more. It may have somehow lost the oil pick up in changing the pan but doesn't matter as said earlier why there's way too low or no oil pressure it will kill it - fast.
At best I think if oil pressure could be restored now it would only be an oil burning clunk of an engine and not last,

Hmmm? I'm a fan of original good used exact engines - whole. It may be rare but my source(s) both - just two, fully check out the engines they keep from salvage yards. Done with biz long time now but would spend a couple hours if needed to check out the engine pre-purchase. These places have a sheet printed on the engines, compression results, miles etc.
If I could or sometimes wait - go out and look at the vehicle it came out of for any info I could dig up and what happened to salvage the car.
The places usually had them indoors on crates strapped down for delivery and came with total warranty but not any labor if it didn't work out.
So far NONE had ever failed! Still local and never used them is a place that does nothing but rebuild engines. Horrible #s of failures so forget that for that place.
Just pulling a valve cover to check sludge situation is telling of how well maintained it was. There's risk in any of this but can get the odds on your side.
I'd avoid private sales. May just be my take on the situation. It's not just labor of a swap but should factor a tune-up, oil change and what to do with your old engine if you take this on yourself or find the right shop to do it. Your call,
