Check the brake fluid level.... urgently.

I should explain further - The dash warning light you are seeing is not just the handbrake warning light. It is the warning light for the whole brake system, and will illuminate for faults in the braking system, such as, low brake pad (from the wear sensors on the front and rear offside brakes). Or low Brake fluid. So if a message mentioned 'fluid' then it certainly needs the brake fluid checking. If the warning comes on without the handbrake, then it's a cause for concern and needs checking before driving again.
