Terrible rattle and dash lights

So I have a 2007 prius, and she was amazing. Then one day all her dash lights came on and said "problem!" On the dash. I got scared, but the lights shut off when I turned her back on the following day. This happened on and off again, maybe happened 4 times, with 2-4 weeks in between. Then one day on the way to work, she had all the lights come back on, and stopped accelerating immediately and died on the side of the road. She would turn on, go into gear but wouldn't move. She got towed because I was too broke to afford a tow truck, so I got her out, she started and had all the lights on, and actually drove for 2 minutes. Just enough for me to park her outside the impound while waiting for AAA. When I turned her on in the impound lot, she had a TERRIBLE rattling/knocking sound under the hood. Now I don't turn her on, but every time I have tried, she rattles like no other. No accidents, or mechanical problems previously. Any idea on what could be going on? Thank you

 

Thank you, the oils good, we just changed it maybe a week before this happens. My next step is to buy a code reader, thank you so much!
