Your thermostat could be stuck and not let the coolant through. Check the upper and lower hoses to see if they are both hot then check the return line for heat.

Glad you found the fix! Sorry, would have responded earlier, but just got to this forum.

Also, keep in mind that should you run into the problem again, you should never rely on the coolant overflow bottle to check the level. You should always check the level in the raditaor. Having said that, USE CAUTION! Only remove the radiator cap when the system is STONE COLD. Then you run the engine with the cap off. If you want complete details, you are welcome to read this information on filling your cooling system.

Hope this helps!
