Wow, how deep was the puddle?
It's possible you got water into the intake, through the filter, and into the engine. The problem with that is that water is not compressible, so when the piston compresses the combustion chamber, expecting vaporized fuel and air, now it's facing a solid object that won't play. You can bend valves and cause random other havoc like that.
One thing you can do is pull the intake off, check to see if the filter is wet, and check to see if the intake tube leading to the throttle body is wet. If they are, then you potentially have a serious problem. You can also remove the spark plugs and turn the engine a few times by hand. This will pump any water out the spark plug holes. Then let it sit for a while and hopefully dry out before trying to start it.
