Does the oil pressure gauge move when cranking my SUV? It was low on oil, but see no leaks or smoke. Cranks but does not start. Did I do damage to engine because of low oil?

Damage to an engine depends on how low on oil and how it was driven if a quart then i would say probably not. so scan for codes and check fuel pressure with a gauge auto parts rent it. See link.
