Moon was never covered in water. We once thought it had for all practical purposes no water whatsoever. We now know the moon has many times more water than nothing. But many times nothing is still a very very small amount for a moon sized planetary body.
There is abundant evidence that the moon was formed very energetically and was molten all the way through at its beginning, however. That puts a strict upper limit on how much of any initial water inventory in its constituent materials the moon could have retained.
