The battery died and now when I go to start it nothing happens, press the info button shows no mileage. The coolant temperature is saying -140. The radio says locked. But the anti theft light is not on. What else can I check or try to make this work again? Swapped computers out from another car. Same exact issue.

New battery I assume? Was this car jump started? If so is there a change the cables got reversed? If so I have seen the dash cluster get blown out which will cause this issue.

Here is a video of a cluster getting replaced which will be similar to your car:

Please report back.

Changed the battery, no the cables are not reversed. There is power to the dash, nothing will work tho. No crank, no control's like heat, fan power. Nothing. Checked all the fuses, is it possible the BCM is bad?

It sounds like you had a voltage surge which could have taking out one or more fuses. Let's start by following this guide to see check out the fuse locations below.
