It's likely you are looking at having it towed to a mechanic at this point. The overheating could be caused by a number of things: blown head gasket, stuck thermostat, coolant leak. But if it's not cranking, and having been driven using water for coolant a couple of times, I'd have it towed and repaired correctly. Although it could need a new motor in which case you'll need to decide whether or not to repair it or replace it.
