1996 Ford Taurus 6 cyl

Ok so I sat in my car for around fifteen minutes, trying to stay warm when it was cold outside. All of a sudden, the ABS light comes on, soon followed by radio lights surging and several other service lights coming on. The engine also began revving and when I tried to drive it, the fuel gauge went well above full, the speedometer went crazy when I was only going around 5 mph, and the rpm gauge went crazy. I have no idea if this is a battery problem or a fuse problem or what. But I need help.

Should have the charging system check and suspect needing an alternator
