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

Do you see a cloud of steam coming out of the tail pipe when you run the engine? Head gasket needs replacement. Puddles under the engine? Leaky hoses or radiator.

@hippyjoe1955 Good point- though remember there will be some vapour from the exhaust until the engine's warmed up.
I suspect here either a small radiator or hose leak, possibly too small to leave puddles; or simply no-one has looked at the fluid level for a long time, and it can go down very slowly.
