Engine idles rough, sounds like rods knocking. The PCV valve is clogged with a milky substance, milky thick oil on oil cap, and my engine coolant will not hold fluids and there is no visible leak any where on car. Check engine light flashes so I parked car and now it will idle for a little bit and then shut off.

Have the coolant checked for and internal leak like head gaskets which it probably is. If it is knocking have a local guy check it as it may have gotten antifreeze in oil which will tear the rod/main bearings up as it is not a good lube. You might drain the oil and if you get stuff like gunky oil or coolant out right away your engine may be toast.
