Assuming you have "some", replace the bottles, reconnect the regulator and hoses and slowly open one or both bottles.
If you have an automatic changeover valve, point the handle towards the heaviest/fullest bottle. You should have a green indicator on the changeover valve, if installed.

Troubleshoot in a methodical, logical flow.
Start at the tank. Do I have propane?
Open the valve slowly.
Is automatic switchover valve installed/working/set?
Follow the gas flow to first place you do or do not have gas.
