My car had overheated and shut off while driving. I changed the starter, ignition coils and engine coolant temperature sensor after getting a few codes and now I don’t get any codes but the check engine light, battery and oil pressure light is on.

How does the engine sound when cranking normally? You may have overheated it and lost compression I can tell for sure if you upload a short video of the engine cranking or you can use this guide and check it yourself:

Let's go over this video as well:
