Go into the loft and give the float valve some exercise. Chances are that
it has stuck in the shut position and the water has evaporated away.

Hopefully this is the problem then you come down and bleed the air out of
the radiators and hopefully all should be well when you turn on.
Later bleed the air out again when the hating is off.

I have checked the float valve and it seems fine the tank is full of
water. I have tried bleeding all the radiators but the upstairs ones
do not seem to have any water in them.

OK. Chances are that there is a crud plug just where the feed pipe joins
the main circuit.

Shut off header tank and bail/syphon the water out if it.
Cut into the feed pipe in a suitable straight section that gives you
access to the crud-plug location (catching dregs as needed). Break up
crud-plug. Reconnect feed pipe using push fit or compression. Refill and
bleed as needed.
