The metal might have warped due to whatever reason. Try simply changing the gasket or using some silicone.

The engine was running very hot I replaced the thermostat. Now the engine runs very cool and I get no heat. Have I done something wrong?

Your car has two radiator hoses, upper and lower. Follow the upper hose to the engine. The housing the hose is connected to houses the thermostat inside. Remove the hose and you will see some bolts on that housing, take those off and you should be able to get to the thermostat. Just remember to get a new gasket too.

Thermostat is located in the thermostat housing where the upper radiator hose meets the engine,

the heater core is located under the dash in the air ducts.
