The only thing that I came up with is that I might want to use vae or o one way or another, but I couldn't find anything natural and concise.
O me miserum feels too long, but perhaps Latin has no shorter options.
A short curse like malum! is an option, but the tone is different from "oh no!".

I think the word you want is ēheu, which L&S define as "an interjection of pain or grief".
It's often translated as "alas", mostly because it appears in epic poetry where a grandiose and formal translation is appropriate. But it's also common in the vulgar speech of Plautus, where I would translate it as "ah, f---" or some similar profanity.
