I can't make out much from the pic, but if the metal is from a bearing if you stop driving now you may be able to simply disassemble and reassemble the motor with new bearings and fix/replace the rod or crank with the bad bearing. If it's steel there's more likely to be damage.
I'd also cut open the oil filter, but might be interesting but idk if it matters if you have to disassemble the entire motor anyways. Just make sure you get the oil cooler replaced or cleaned out too.
Sorry that happened. I'd probably replace/upgrade the oil pump and lifters if I was taking the motor apart. Not sure I'd go for a $$$ Katech pump unless money isn't an issue. Seems like the newest oil pumps are a lot more reliable. Stock lifters are for the AFM system and less reliable than regular lifters. Good luck!
