"but it will overheat&I don't know if this has anything to do with it but my heat won't get warm inless I keep my foot on the gas.Any ideas please?"

the car overheats
the antifreeze boils over into the overflow bottle
air bubble in the engine and NO fluid in the heater

change your radiator cap AND have a garage vacuum fill the radiator to remove the air bubble. Fix it soon, you could blow the head gasket or crack the head.
