This isn't going to be an easy or simple fix. I think you should take it to your repair facility or to the dealer for diagnostics. There is clearly something contaminating your engine oil, and must be addressed soon, or further engine damage could result. In ANY event, your ride isn't dependable at this point.
Good Luck

If you are lucky, the oil pan can be removed, the pickup screen and pan cleaned out, and if no real metal shavings found can be put back together and be fine. What is in the pickup screen are burnt oil type sludge that will not let the oil pass thru.

I don't think you realize how serious your problem is. Take it to a professional.
