Air Conditioner Trouble

I have an 2008 Chevy Colbalt LS that I’m having some issues with. Any advice would be awesome! My a/c is blowing out hot air. I tried to put more Freon in it and the gauge automatically went right to red, like it has to much Freon in it. What do you think would help?

Is the compressor running? Is it turning on and off? It might be that the system is cooling but the blend door is stuck in the heat position.

My compressor isn’t kicking off and on. I was thinking it might have to much Freon in it and this preventing the compressor to come on. I wasn’t sure. I would I check if it’s the blend door?
