Sigh... Another issue. Overheating after changing belt

So all today the G was running fine. Until my way home from work. Out of nowhere the temp gauge skyrockets to high. The car starts lunging forward and I end up getting stuck on the shoulder of the freeway.
Just got home after being towed by AAA,
This past weekend I had changed my ac/ drive belts. Im hoping that I just made some dumb mistake and forgot to plug in a connection or something. I did spill some coolant during the process but it was still above the minimum line.
I remember plugging back in 3 fan connectors. I didnt remove any hoses. Im really not sure what Im missing. Anyone have any advice?

Turn the car on, AC on, make sure the fans are spinning on high. Then turn the AC off and let the engine heat up normally while you monitor temperature and watch to make sure the fans turn on to low speed when the engine is hot.

Did you unplug any connectors when doing the belts? I usually do belts from the bottom (since that's how you access the tensioner screws anyways) and you don't unplug anything.
