does the car have coolant in the radiator ? first thing is to fill the system up then put a pressure tester on it to find the leak if no leak is found then you need to do a compression test and a leak down ...

I'm not sure its the thermostat because my fan was running when i pulled over...or maybe its bad cause it turned on too late?

have you checked the coolant levels yet? Is the levels down? If its down then top it up and pressure test it to see if there was any leaks 
hopefully its nothing major

Did you bleed the air from the system when you changed the coolant? Your guage may be measuring a hot air bubble instead of the coolant.
