Sounds like your bottom-end may have had it. If it's a loud "tap/knock" which rises and gets faster with the revs, you'll need a bottom end rebuild. This is more likely than part of your turbo entering the engine.

Start it up to see if it's knocking, and if it is, turn it off and look at your options for getting it rebuilt. Trying to drive it anywhere will cause more damage and cost you more money.
