What is wrong if you changed a four prong to a three prong and the dryer is not heating?
My question is WHY did you replace a four prong dryer plug with a three prong! 220 volt Electric dryers require two hot legs, a neutral and a system ground wire. Sounds as though you shunted one of the hots or the neutral. You need to install a four prong plug of the same configuration and wire it exactly as the original.

The AC wide prong is the neutral. An AC voltmeter measuring from narrow prong to ground should show line voltage; measurement from wide prong to ground should show zero.

The auto parts store has given you the wrong headlight. Take it back and exchange it for the correct one. Take the old one in so they can see the correct one that you need.
Can you plug a three-prong dryer into a four-prong outlet or is there an adapter you should use?
You should install a four prong. The older ones were three prong and had no ground. An adaptor isn't made because it wouldn't fix the problem. You could make your own adaptor and cut the ground off with a pair of dykes, but don't.
