Slight problem during oil change, what to do next?

To clarify, the noise was not the ramp, definitely the engine. And again, it ran for less than five seconds, and was not hot.

At this point, be conservative. Flatbed it to a mechanic. You still have a very good chance of driving it away after having it checked but you don't want to take the chance of making anything worse by starting the engine.
