Brief Answer:
Yes, could be emergency, source could be retinal detachment

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Sudden appearance of floaters and blood vessels could indicate impending or partial retinal detachment.

This is an emergency and needs to be addressed at once to prevent further damage.

It could also be due to a bleed inside the vitreous which could be due to sudden spike in blood pressure.

This also needs to be addressed soon.

Kindly visit emergency and get yourself examined by an ophthalmologist.

I would be glad to help you further once you are cleared by the ophthalmologist.

Wishing you the very best.

Warm regards
