Nothing. Unless you needed to "top up" the heating. It's an enclosed system. The same water just goes round and round.
Of course you will get no hot water out of the taps while the water's off ( unless you have a hot water tank)
But the central heating would be fine . I wouldn't want to have the water turned off for TOO long though, not at this time of year.
As a general rule you shouldn't mess about with central heating at this time of year, unless you are forced to.

In asking this Q, I'd have to suspect that your heat derives from a boiler as opposed to a central heat/ac unit powered by electricity? But without details I certainly can't know.
If it is powered by fuel, to heat water, to create stem type heat, then I assume some feature is built in to shut the system down, in the absense of water,,,and/or fuel for that matter.

Does your central heating unit require hot water from the boiler or water heater? If so, nothing should happen to home heating unless you shut down the water heater/boiler and the heating medium (which would be hot water) becomes cold.

Nothing your central heating is a closed curcuit, it only needs to be topped up occasionally with a loop.

The Thermal Safety Cut Out would operate if the water level dropped too far.

Nothing, except you would have no water at any mains fed taps, and/or no feed to the storage tank if you have one.
