You either have a brake line leaking or you just need to add brake fluid to the master cylinder. The master cylinder is located in the engine compartment, on the driver's side. Check to see if the fluid is at the correct level and add to the full line on the outside of the master cylinder. If the brake pedal still goes to the floor, then you have a leaking brake line or possibly a bad master cylinder. 

If there is no fluid in the master cylinder, then you have a serious brake line leak. Adding fluid will not make a difference if the master cylinder reservoir is empty. You will need to find the bad brake line and fix it immediately. A vehicle with a brake pedal that goes to the floor is not a safe vehicle to drive.
