If the water in the block & head has frozen solid, you well may have cracked the block or head, this will have to be checked over after it has defrosted, if there is oil in the water this is not a good sign, this will be engine oil and not power steering oil in the water.

You can have some preliminary diagnosis done first, but if the indications are a head problem, the head will be able to be repaired, but it will have to come off and be checked over by an automotive machinist.
