If you used only water you may have damaged the motor. Coolant acts as a lubricant also as it is slightly greasy or slick. There may be a different problem there as well. It’s hard to say from such a brief description but also check the connection to vital components like crank or cam position sensors. If a hose blew it’s possible come antifreeze got inside the connector causing disruption in signal to said sensor. Good luck
