Brake Line Malfunction

Brake Line Malfunction
i didn't really know where to post so sorry if im in the wrong place.
i changed my brakes yesterday, and while using the C-Clamp to push the press back to slide over the new brake pads i heard a little "pop". i didn't think too much of it but when i tried pumping the breaks to get them working again nothing happened. all my brake fluid wants to stay in the reservoir so all i am doing is pumping air.
i have absolutely no idea how to fix this but i cant go without my car and im sure not taking it to a mechanic so he can charge me $1000 just to tell me it was clogged or something.
any help would be much appreciated

Need some info on the car.....996 I assume? Year? You just changed the pads? Did you bleed the brakes? Or both? When you say "press back" do you mean pushing the caliper pistons? What do you mean by C-Clamp? How the brake pedal feel?
