We purchased a brand new Nissan Rogue with 11 miles on it. After driving it for 5 days the ‘check oil” notification came on. We had driven less than 100 miles. We checked the oil and there was a small amount reading dip stick. Did this do any permanent damage to the car since we had very little oil in it from day one?

More than likely if there is still some oil in the engine, there is no damage done. With only a few hundred miles on the vehicle, the oil should be new and therefore should be good for some time, even if it is low.
What you need to be doing is getting it back to the dealership and figuring out why it was low on oil. Coming from the factory, it's HIGHLY unlikely it left there that way. There may be a leak, but whatever ... this should fall DIRECTLY on the dealership/manufacturer to get it fixed. This should be covered directly under the warranty.
