Valve cover is on top of the engine, that is what you removed to get to the valves and the timing chain.
If you consider the engine as layers of sandwich:
Valve cover
Valve cover gasket
Head (contains valves, camshaft)
Head gasket
Block (contains pistons, rods, crankshaft, oil pump)
Oil pan gasket
Upper oil pan
Lower oil pan gasket
Lower oil pan.
You would need to remove the upper oil pan to get to the crankshaft and rod bearings.
