Ran low on coolant, Car wont start

Hey how is everyone doing. I've own my FD for about 3 months now and filled all fluids day I got it. 2 nights ago I started my car it ran for 10 seconds before I got a long beeping sound so I turned it off immediately. After reading other post trying to figure out what happened I noticed my Coolant was low. I went to store and bought some today and filled it up as I tried starting the car it cranked but wouldn't start. No smoke or other indications were noticed. Any ideas how to fix it, or what's wrong?

Have you identified a leak? If not, the motor is ingesting coolant via a failed coolant seal and it's time to pull and drop the motor off for rebuild.

Check the spark plugs to see whether they are soaked in fuel or dry.(my guess the car is simply flooded as you only ran it for that "10 seconds")
IF you did NOT drive it to the store to get that Coolant then everything should be as it was..just low on coolant.
If that is the case then try to deflood the engine.
