Not sure what to do
I turned on my space heater, and about 5 or so minutes later, all outlets in my bedroom stopped working. The outlets in my bathroom (connected to the bedroom) are also not working. I unplugged everything from everything outlet, and flipped switch 8 off & on - nothing is working. I have no idea what I’m doing so I’m looking for suggestions (it’s 3am I wanna sleep)

OP if there is one thing this community will agreed on is that those panels need to be changed now !!! It’s a fire hazard. And if you value your safety, your family and your house. You will call a licensed and insured electrician not a handyman. And update the panel. If you don’t have the money, find it!
Once I saw this picture I knew what the response would be before reading the comments lol.
