What do I do when I had lost almost all transmission fluid and I used half a quart of ATF not CVT to get home?

The first thing you need to do is drain the entire system and refill it with the correct fluid. I recommend having the transmission flushed rather than a drain and fill because it will get all fluid out and all new in.

Are there any issues at this time? Also, how far was it driven this way?

Let me know.
