All indications are that your charging system isn't functioning. I'd just do the standard test to determine if it's the generator or regulator that's failed.

Momentarily ground the field terminal at either the regulator or generator with a jumper, race the engine and observe the ammeter. If it now shows full charge the generator is OK and the regulator is suspect.

Don't leave the jumper grounding the field connected any longer than is necessary to perform the test.
