So......
Not to be all negative Nelly here..... but;

I know you said it was only a block away, but either that's a very LONG block, or you were going very slow. You kept driving with the car overheating, long enough for the oil light to come on. And then it started making noises, you described them as "clunks", yet you kept driving it home.

I'm with JFP here: what may have been a simple low-on-coolant issue (that's why your heater was blowing cold) is almost certainly a much bigger issue now.

My fingers are crossed for ya.

First thing I'd do is dump the oil and inspect it and the filter. Might as well make sure the motor's still good before putting a new water pump on it.
