HELP 2006 MCS rough start, idle with lights on dash

HELP!! I Drove about an hour yesterday in the 95+ degree weather with the A/C on with no issues. Came back to my car this morning to start it up and do an errand and turned the car over and it started acting funny. The car turned over and was really struggling to stay on it eventually stalled, I pumped the gas once and then got it started just fine. The DSC light, and the check engine light stayed on for a good half hour. I restarted the car 3 times and on the third time both lights went out and the car seemed to be fine again. Not knowing what it was I checked all fluids and under the hood and found the oil to be a little dark (needs changing) and the coolant to be a little below the min mark. I checked it last week and it was at the max mark. Any ideas as to what it could be? Also does anyone know what type of coolant to use to fill it back to the max mark? Thanks in advance! HELP!!
