@realtreemomma do this only on a cold engine. You do not want to do this while the coolant is hot.
1. With the engine off and the coolant cold (and the pressure cap in place) turn the draincock counterclockwise to open
2. The coolant reserve tank should empty first, then remove the pressure cap.
Biggest question I would have is where the coolant went and why your engine is overheating,. Hope you have checked for leaks and multiple other things like cylinder head gasket, cracked head etc.

Ok go to the radiator ...in front of car..Ok ..either on the left or right side on the bottom of radiator..there's a plastic like nut...in which u can loosen with a good set of. Channel locks ...turn left to loosen it....it is the drain plug ...take all the way out...let coolant drain...then install nut....make sure that it's tight but don't over tighten it....refill radiator while car runs....if u can't find drain...just take radiator hose loose from the bottom of radiator. Need a Phillips screwdriver or pliers ..just loosen it and pull off hose only on radiator side of hose ..and drain and tighten hose ...fill up radiator. Good luck
