Yeah. I would totally check the coolant first and oil second.
When I've had this problem in the past it been for one of two reasons: the radiator was empty and/or the hoses were blocked OR the oil was very low.
Just a word of caution, overheated engines tend to get cracked engine blocks or other VERY VERY expensive damage. So, I wouldn't drive this car any further than is absolutely necessary. The damage might be inexpensively repairable now, but if you drive it, it could be very bad.
I've got the worst car luck EVER and so I know some of these things from experience.

I'm sorry you're having car trouble, Kelly.
