F2 System diagnostics

but I can’t even get out of it to do anything.. what should I do?

Sounds like the hard drive has failed, or erased. Run the system diagnostics. Does the hard drive pass the test?
You can build a Windows 10 boot disk from another computer, and boot it up to repair.

If the hard drive is failed, it will need to be replaced.
