Hi and welcome to NICO!
You have may have hurt the car. Cracked or warped heads and blocks come from overheating. Stuck piston rings and messed up valves can happen from overheating.
Check all of your cylinders for compression.
Fill up the coolant system and fix your leak.
Do you have access to tools or a mechanic?
Please, tell us how you know your car overheated and exactly what happened. There is a big difference between seeing the temperature gauge go into the red and having the engine shut off while blowing steam everywhere. Let us know when you had no water or had the leaking start or whatever you know.
It could be really bad and it could be you need to rewire your radiator fans. Please give us more information. I can't tell if you should even start the car or avoid starting the car, let alone drive it or warm it up or anything.
