Sometimes a steep uphill and some idling can do it. Check the coolant level and add more if needed before you do anything else. As if you didn’t know.

Did the heat work before you changed the coolant, or did you change the coolant in an attempt to fix a problem?

Place the car on ramps and then run it till all the air bubbles out and the car reaches operating temp. The thermostat must open to get flow to the heater core.
