With some reading between the lines it seems you overheated for still an unknown reason and heater won't work while boiling over and can lose coolant.
You need to fix the cause of coolant loss and overheating which could just be a leak. Adding coolant (usually a mix no stronger than 50/50 antifreeze and water unless marked 'premixed' constantly isn't the solution but is just getting you to the next problem.
Need to find and fix the source of the overheat fix and then hope no other damage has occurred,
