Did you check the coolant level? Check w/ engine COLD- to radiator neck, also check the resv. The proper level is marked on it. Check that the hose inside is connected.
Any visible leakage under the car, in engine bay, etc.? How does the oil look? Do not drive it until you find out what the problem is. Overheating can cause serious (read- expensive $$) damage.
