sorry to say but 90% chance that u are screwed. most likely your motor is hydro locked. basically it is full of water and you are probably gonna need a short block, possibly get by with honing and a rebuild. it could be something else but... i told you worst case scenario, but that is usually what happens when people stall in water.

... I'd also take it to AutoZone and have em scan it if you don't have a scan tool at home before you panic too much!
