Relax.

First, read your Owners Manual section for the procedure for checking the oil level. In particular, the bike should be uprght and the engine cold (at least give the level a few minutes to settle when hot) when you check the level in the sight glass. Use a small hand mirror to view it if you’re astride to make sure it’s between the two marks.

Even if the level was actually below the minimum level, it’s unlikely that the oil pump was starved of oil. The white smoke you see at startup is normal, water condensation not oil being burned (which has a blue color.)
