About 3 days ago I had a stuffed up nose, so I poured boiling water in a sink with a bar of soap, then inhaled the vapor with a towel over my head through my nose.
It kinda helped with the nose, but now my lungs hurt when I breathe and I got a cough. Is it just a coincidence? Or have I done damage to my lungs?
I thought many people do this... Then again, maybe it has something to do with the soap.

Using warm/hot water to breath the vapours, is not a bad idea, but i am not sure you should be putting soap into that. You can use %26#039;vicks%26#039; putting just a little into the warm water ( tip of a teaspoon only). although it does make your eyes water a bit.
your chest being sore is probably part of the same infection that caused your nose to bung-up in the first place..ie.. the next stage of the cold. Just wrap up warm, take plenty of warm drinks, a dose of paracetamol, and rest, you should start to feel better...if your chest gets worse over the next few days, get down to the GP, as you could have a chest infection....and that would need a doctors advice, and help.
