If the water pump failed, it may very well have overheated enough to crack the cylinder head, like Jimmy said. You could also have a head gasket failure, or both issues.
I would do a compression check in addition to Jimmy's suggestion of checking for wet plugs.
In either case, while not necessarily a walk in the park, it's fixable and (for what it's worth) not as nerve wracking as the water pump repair.
regards,
Rowan
