You should check your water level. It's low, and you have a leak. Get someone to check it for you.

The heater in your car works off the water from your radiator, no water in the radiator will over heat the engine ergo top up the water.

Could also be low antifreeze level causing water in radiator to freeze making the engine overheat and the heater to blow cold air.

You have an airlock. If you have a system with expansion/filler tank then check the return pipe is not blocked. These systems bleed themselves if there are no blockages.

Mine was because the impeller in the water pump had disintegrated to the point where it would not move the water. The water would overheat, but the hot water would not get moved into the heater core to blow hot air. I replaced the water pump and it all works now.
