Welcome to PriusChat!! Which device did you use to retrieve the DTCs (error codes), you may need to use a hybrid compatible OBD2 device. If you can find a hybrid compatible obd2 scanner and post any retrieved codes you can be offered more concise advice. From your description it would appear the inverter pump has failed, but knowing the DTCs would tell us for sure. If you disconnect the inverter pump first, then replace the am2 fuse, you can move the vehicle around slowly to a safe spot. Don't drive for long distances, durations, high speeds, or in hot weather as you don't want to overheat the inverter. Once you have the vehicle in a safe place you can replace the inverter pump. If you don't first disconnect (or fix) the inverter pump, you will continue to blow the am2 fuse and be unable to move the vehicle again.
Did you take the battery out of the car to check it? If you did there will be no codes. As SFO suggests check the AM2 fuse with a multimeter and let us know if it’s blown
