The red brake light on is an indicator for the brake fluid level. When the light is on it does not mean to just fill the system. It does mean that there is something wrong, but the light is triggered on from fluid level. So why is the fluid level low? It is important to find this out and not just fill the reservoir.
More than likely you have a leak in the system causing air to be in the lines. The air in the lines is why the pedal goes to the floor.

We need to first focus on finding any external leaks and repair those. Once those are repaired we need to bleed the brakes and retest. If it still goes to the floor the you most likely have an issue with the master cylinder.
