You need to check for a common problem, which is a blockage on the cold feed into the system.
The simplest way to do this is to partially drain again (with the system OFF) and observe the level in the F&E cistern.
If the level does not fall then you have a blockage.
If it falls, then manually open all motorised zone valves, still with the system OFF, and then refill the system. Vent all rads. Vent the boiler, if it has a vent. Vent everyting that has a vent. Then vent a bit more, and make sure you get water from all rads. Take the end cover off the pump and check that you get a dribble of water.
Then turn the system on and check that the pump is rotating - use a small screwdriver in the hole left by the end cap to feel for the shaft turning.
BTW, when all this is over, you should add a chemical inhibitor to the system.
