I PUT OIL IN THE CAR AND LATER WHEN I TURNED IT ON IT STARTED SHAKING AND STALLING

My car has 45000 miles.

Hello. This would usually only occur if you added to much oil or used the wrong weight oil. This engine needs the correct oil in order for the valve timing system to work right. It sounds like the vehicle should still be under warranty so you should take it to the dealer to have it checked out.
