Your symptoms sound like a battery cable or ground issue. Check all of those. I doubt a sudden electrical glitch would kill a battery - more likely a corroded cable snapped or loose connection / terminal gave way. If in doubt, have the battery tested at your local parts store.

Should i also look into replacing the oil pressure sending unit ? And the coolant temp sensor?

I test them with a nine volt battery, I think you can just ground them with the ignition on and the gauge should max out, just long enought to test the gauge, here is a thread to look at too.
