Took my car in for an oil change and my coolant was empty - that’s dangerous hope my engine is okay.
I don’t know how to check my oils etc

You are lucky you didn't have the engine overheat and seize up.
There was probably still enough coolant in it to protect it, but oil and coolant levels, and tyre pressures, are things the car manufacturers generally recommend you check weekly or perhaps fortnightly, depending perhaps on conditions and amount of driving.
They are not difficult to do, and are expected to be done by the owners. There should be an owner's handbook with the car, explaining what's where, levels, tyre sizes & pressures, etc.
