Several things happened at once!!
So upon starting my 2002 vette today I was getting a CHECK TIRE PRESSURE and REDUCED ENGINE POWER warning, MY power windows weren't working, The air conditioner wasn't putting out cold air, The oil and coolant temperature gauges were inoperable, and the traction control and ABS lights were on. NONE of these problems were present until I started it today. Could it be a blown fuse or something?

Likely a battery problem.
Had the car not been started for a few weeks, or is the barely old?

Check your battery, low voltage kicks off all kinds of funky stuff in C5's. Good luck!

That or a grounding problem. Has it been exposed to rain/moisture?

All of the above could be the source of the problems. I'd start with making sure the battery is in top shape.

Same thing happened to mine. It ended up being a wire that comes from the main harness to the door panel.

If the battery checks out okay, Check the ignition switch. Mine did the same thing and a new switch fixed everything.
