The first thing I would do is wait until the engine is cold and then check the coolant level, here is a guide and video of what you should do as a preliminary inspection:

If everything looks okay here is the temperature blend door actuator which sounds like it is not working. There is one for each side.

Please check out this guide and the images below.
