    Hopefully the tree will stop sprouting. Keep it watered until cold weather arrives. Even if it doesn't stop sprouting, it will have enough stored water to give it a head start next spring. Most trees can stand an entire leaf drop on an occasion.

    It sounds like the tree has been stressed by lack of water. If it's stil in the container, soak it overnight in a tub of water. If it's in the ground, slowly water with 10 gallons of water over a one hour time period. If it is water stress relates, the yellowing and dropping of leaves should lessen.
    Since you didn't indicate your USDA hardiness zone, the leaf drop could be nature doing her thing. All cherries in our area (6b) are completely leafless.

    Trees and shrubs can take up to 3 years to become truly "established" or rooted-in. Since you don't state your zone or location, I'll assume you are seeing normal dormancy "fall" leaf drop. You can experience twig die back on newly planted trees. Keep the plant watered through out the next 12 months.

    At this point, the only thing I'd recommend is recutting the limb where it's broken. With a smooth end, pathogens and pests will have a more difficult entering limb tissue. You might want to seal the fresh cut with ''tree sealer'' or paint.

    Sounds like your tree may be in need of some pruning at the top to remove the older, unproductive growth. This article should help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/trees/weeping-cherry/pruning-weeping-cherry.htm

    Your weeeping cherry is most likely grafted. A swollen or scarred bol at or near the base of the tree indicates a graft. You will find the following article helpful: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/trees/weeping-cherry/pruning-weeping-cherry.htm
