Someone later told me it sounded like a blown head gasket, I checked the oil, and it was brown milky. If this is a blown head gasket, how much would it cost for labor and repair? If not, what does it sound like?

No real SOLUTION here, just some ?? to wonder about...

How deep in the mud did you get? Doesn't sound like it should have been deep enough to really cause problems in itself if you were able to 'get pulled out of the mud by a random passing stranger'. Depends what this stranger was driving...

Was it just muddy or was this a deep water puddle? The 'brown milky' sounds like you have probably got water into the oil somehow. Did it suck water into the intake when you were stuck?

Did you over-rev the engine trying to get out of the mud when you were stuck?
