I'd only choose "the night before" and "the previous night". Anyway, it has to have the definite article, since "last night" was the night before today, not just any.

Direct speech: A night ago =one night ago

Indirect speech: The night before = the previous night = a night before = a previous night =the night earlier = a night earlier. (2)

Tung Quoc, I don't think you would say "a night ago". That's "last night"
