When it overheated it is possible that the motor may have gotten damaged. Does it crank - if not it is frozen. If it cranks some other part may have been damaged. Check for the obvious - spark and ignition coil.
Depends how hot it became depends on the damage caused - overheating is a very broad term that is often used when "cooked" would be more appropriate.
Mild overheating can burn the oil from cylinders robbing them of compression but seriously cooking an engine can destroy rubber components, weaken valve springs, melt pistons and create serious distortion of metal components.
Only a back to basics systematic approach can estimate the damage...
SOURCE: The water pump went out and the car overheated.
Please remove all the plugs and check the firing on all individually. Now see that your fuel lines are good and make sure there is fuel distribution into the cylinder., If there was an over flow make sure that it was pumped out when the plugs weere removed. Now since you have confirrmed that the cylinder has not cracked, the plugs must be set back and tried. Hope the fuel pump is working fine- since you had a very hot engine, otherwise this can be the culprit. Hope you try this out. Good day

if your spark plugs are wet that's either a blown head gasket, or a warped head, that's the only way water could get into the cylinder

What O ring? On cylinder head? Do you see water floating in oil after draining oil pan? If water enters exhaust system, catalytic converter (assuming there is one), maybe clogged.
