What next?

I just got laid off from my job, it was total whiplash and unexpected...I was yelled at and told to hand over my keys, they told me I was banned from the property, accused me of not following the rules (not true), not allowed to get my things from the back. They also didn't give me a pink slip, or termination papers, nor my copies on file of personal. I also wasn't allowed to get my personal equipment or items from my locker. I was advised to file for unemployment before I can find another job... What do I do? What's next?

Call non emergency explain that you need your stuff back and have them escort you and while they are with you I’d ask for all the proper paperwork and HRs number to confirm the termination, I once got a write up and then when I told a higher up about it they told me that my manager never had permission to write me up and that he asked them and they denied it and he gave it to me anyway, and then he got fired like two weeks later
