Yes,
Your slight tap at idle will probably soon become a knock. The goldy flecks are 99% certain to be from a big end or main bearing - but most likely a big end.
To confirm have a good look in your oil filter that you took off. Even chop it in half with a hacksaw. You will probably find even more.
Sorry.
