The Battary indicaters light red 3 days ago, the car is still working, then there is no charging of the Battary. What fuses to check and what should I do?

Put a voltmeter on the battery. It should be 14-14.5 volts.

If it is, you may have a failed diode in the alternator.

If it isnt, then the alternator has failed.
