When I'm driving my car starts to over heat I pulled over to check the antifreeze and it was full when I parked it some time over the night it all had drained out I filled it and it seemed to stay full with no leak's that I had seen then my heater started to start blowing out cold and I could smell antifreeze and as I gained speed it got warm but cooled down as I was at an idle

Yu need to have the cooling system pressure tested, you have a leak some where, possibly a bad or leaking heater core.
