I would try a quick cheap fix first. Disconnect the battery and let it sit for 15 mins and rehook. You may have cooked the ECT (Engine coolant Temp) sensor ( are the fans running when cold? or The IAC ( Idle Air control) sensor may be bad or The TPS ( Throttle Position Sensor) may be bad or your throttle body could be dirty Overheating may have thrown these sensors out of range.

Usually it doesn't work like that. You basically need to check why it has been overheated. If it was because of you didn't have enough of coolant than you need to add coolant and check for leakage. If it happened because of the thermostat failure, you need to replace the thermostat and then drive the car. Other things might cause overheating too.
