Glad you found the problem.
You have a water heater with a galvanized tank. Eventually, that tank will corrode and pieces will flake off. Those flakes, along with accumulated calcium deposits, generally fall to the bottom of the tank, but over the years, as cold water fills the tank causing turbulance, some will go into suspension and find their way to your faucets. When you flushed your tank you likely put much more into suspension than would ordinarily have happened and that simply plugged the faucets completely. Unless you flushed the tank by turning
off the hot outlet and opened the bottom drain and the
safety valve at the top, the debris went directly into you hot water lines.
