Unhappy charge light off

All started with the oil light on, on the dash board. The oil level was low, I refill it. Then the oil light was going on and off. I checked the oil level, and it was fine. I thought may be it will go away. I was in my way to work and the oil light came on again, but inmetialy after that the charging light when on and also a light that is located in the upper right side ( which I think is for the front lights). I stop to make sure was oil in the car. well I looked at the oil switch, and oil was leaking throught it, so I drove to work. When I came back I decided to disconect the oil switch. 10 miles later the car stop, in the middle of the highway.

When you disconnect the oil switch, you stopped the ECU from getting any readings from the sensor.

When there were no readings, the ECU turned off the car.

It's obvious that you have an eletrical problem.
Disconnecting the oil switch will only make it worse.

I suggest that you re-connect the oil switch and take the car for a thorough electrical diagnostic test.

I would also check all fuses before you take it in.
