Edit: I figured out the issue so thanks to everyone who was helpful and kind!! Won’t be responding anymore as the issue is resolved.
I’m a newbie at anything electrical. I wanted to switch a dimmer switch in one room to another room and put the regular flip switch in that room. We hooked up the regular flip switch no problem and have electricity/light in that room. In the other room with the dimmer switch we have no lights nor do we have now have lights in our hallway and bathroom (same side of house) what did we do wrong and are we safe? We capped all exposed wiring. Cross posted

Not an expert by all means but did turn off your breakers before you started? And in case you didn’t, you might have tripped it. Check your box for any switches that are facing the wrong way or even slightly misaligned.
