Advice Please

I have a 2003 3.2 63,000 miles.
When I took my car into the garage for an oil change the mechanic and I heard a rattle noise when the car decelerated he told me it could be one of the cats and he would check it out when the car was on the ramps.
He phoned me an hour or so later telling me after he did the oil and filter change he started the car and the rattle was terrible so he turned off the engine the car ran for less than 10 seconds.
He drained the oil and we found fragments of metal and glitter in the sump the new filter also had glitter on it.
I think the problem could be the ims bearing the glitter being from the bearings and the fragments from the casings.

Your advice and prognosis would be greatly appreciated
