So did the tank overflow or the sump ? What kind of drain pipe style do you have (in the overflow) durso or herbie , etc. ? More info the better .

Do you only have one pipe that drains into your sump or two? As others have said, we need a bit more info on your setup. If you only have one drain pipe, how big is it? Does it have a valve on it? How big is your return pipe and pump?

If you only have one drain pipe it is possible that it got clogged with a snail or algae or fish. Without an emergency drain pipe you would be in trouble in such and event. Have a look and poke something down your drain pipe to check for obstructions.
