It means your engine overheated. If you're lucky your engine hasn't sustained costly damages (yet), but don't drive the car. Get your cooling system inspected right away. If you feel like tackling this yourself let me know I can help, but if you're not mechanically inclined, take it to a shop.
Good luck
