Is it possible you've unplugged some sensor to get to an oil filter?

Just the usual filter and drain plug however when it wouldn't even crank i thought that the oil level and temp sensor might have caused it so i pulled it off and plugged it back in again, that's all i did, no reason i think for it not to even crank. its like the starter motor is not even getting an juice

Do you have any diagnostics computer to check if some fault codes are present?
You have checked all fuses are ok?

Have you over filled it? I'm not certain with a caddy but I know on a couple of other vehicles I've heard of them not starting if over filled.
