Sounds like the starter need to be replace or rebuilt.
The clicking is due to the starter still partially engaged. Grooves are worn on the contactors and the plunger is sticking in the starter.

The car makes a loud clicking sound coming from engine. 1997 Toyota camry put more oil in it And it worked for a little while but then it stalled and started making the sound again

sounds like you have some bad bearings or beny valves...stop running it and get it towed to a mechanic to figure it out before you damage it more
