I'm not an authority on this, but I think you are OK. The low oil indicator (not intended to be the 'you've melted your engine' indicator) did its job. There were a couple quarts left, so you likely had an adequate supply of fresh, high-quality oil circulating through the motor. Hopefully you didn't run the engine to redline along the way, which would have increased the possibility of the pan ...

You will be good. Your earlier post states that you have a dipstick. Does it show you are over filled? If I where you I would just change the oil again. But if you have the dipstick it should let you know if it is overfilled.
P.S. Update your profile so that others will be able to tell what year and model car you have. It will be helpful when trying to provide info.
