What does it mean in your car if all your brake fluid drains and brake pedal will now go to the floor?

You have a leak. It could be from the master cylinder, lines, calipers, hoses, or wheel cylinders. Add fluid, pump the pedal, and look for the leak.

What happens when you run out of brake fluid?
The brake pedal will go to the floor but will have absolutely no effect on stopping the vehicle. When you push on the brake pedal it moves the fluid through metal tubes (called brake lines) to force the brake pads against the rotor which slows and stops the car. No fluid means nothing is in there to make the brake pads engage the rotors.
