Explanation

'In short' is a standard idiom meaning 'briefly' or 'in summary'. It's used to indicate that you're stating something concisely. 'In briefly' and 'In shortly' are not standard English expressions, while 'In short' is the correct idiomatic phrase used to introduce a summary or brief statement.
