That error can be safely ignored. The reason for it is just that most of the skybox textures in TF2 only have the top half to save on memory, but this doesn't allow the compile tools to build a default cubemap. It doesn't cause any serious problems.
This article describes how to build cubemaps: https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Cubemap#Building_Cubemaps
Pictures are gone, but this guide is just as helpful - https://tf2maps.net/threads/cubemaps-what-and-how.4530/
What's wrong with the water? It's the first time you mention it here.
If the water can't be seen, it (most probably; see below) means VVIS hasn't run, the most common reason for that is a leak.
If the water doesn't work in general, make sure you've built it properly: only the top face should have the water texture, the rest must have nodraw, and the top face should be completely horizontal (or it won't render again)

The water can be seen, It's just that the checkerboard textures are always on the water. When cubemaps are built the checkerboard textures on the water don't go away like the rest of the checkerboard textures. They remain.
I Will try to compile and build with another water texture and see if that works. But if it doesn't i need some help with this.
