Is this belt separate from any timing belt? I think so.
When belt broke - you lost all the things it drives - most likely including the water pump and would overheat fairly quickly if you didn't shut it right down. Assorted damaged up to severe can happen with overheats.
Then the question is if there's a noise still now you replaced the belt but you didn't say if an accessory pulley of any kind was the cause and should check for that. That might be the noise,
