Changing the oil entails taking the oil out and putting new oil in, not just adding more oil.

That said, an "oil change due" warning is most likely your car telling you it's time for an oil change (many modern cars will include timed service reminders like that, which mechanics will reset the timer on when they perform the service), not your car detecting that your oil needs changing. It may actually be fine with just the added oil, if you haven't been driving that much since your last change, but it's still advisable to do a change instead of just topping it up.
