Default 97 chevrolet cavalier with no to little brakes and bottoming out brake pedal

Well today i tried to change my wheel bearing in my car and i put a prybar inbetween the two brake pads and gently moved them back into place and slipped it back on and now i have no to little brakes in my car and the back brakes seem to grab still. It also has ABS all around.

Did you open the bleeders or disconnect any lines? You can try bleeding the brakes, it might help.
