Bad things usually. And expensive, like having to buy a new engine. The oil should be changed, and the reason for the water getting into the oil found and corrected. A common source of coolant entry is the oil cooler since a failure can mix oil and water. Check the coolant to see it it also has oil in it.

What happens to a car engine in freezing temperatures when there's no antifreeze?

If you have water instead of antifreeze in your cooling system, it will freeze! You won't be able to start the car, because the engine is connected to the water pump (which won't be able to move). If you have nothing in your cooling system (no water, no antifreeze, nothing else), then you need your head checked. Your car won't start either.
