You are most likely low on engine coolant. Check that first. If it got low that quickly, check for leaks.

Here is a link that explains how to check, locate, and repair a leak:

If you look below, I attached an exploded view of the radiator and cooling system. When the engine is cold, remove the radiator cap and check the coolant level.

Let me know what you find.
