Car won't start, engine coolant high temperature?

Parked car in garage after a decent drive this morning.
Ambient temp is ~80f
Went to start the car after plugging in new dash cam into the usb on the center console, and car won't start?

Initially, the headlights were flickering and I couldn't get them to turn off with the toggle on the steering wheel stick.
Then the push start/stop button wouldn't even respond.

Disconnected every usb/cig lighter inside, then disconnected negative terminal and reconnected, now seems bit more normal.
When trying to start, it says "Engine Coolant High Temperature"
and all the lights and usb/cig lighters power on.
But no starter motor or anything.

Edit:
checked fuses, and both
(CDS) 25 A Electric cooling fan
and
RDI 25 A Electric cooling fan
fuses were blown.
So the radiator fans haven't been turning on for a while I guess?
Replaced both blown fuses, but car still won't try to start
