How did you not know the park brake was on? Sid you follow a guide? I once read there is a procedure to follow with electric handbrakes. Does the park brake work now? What does an OBD scan say?
Take it to a mechanic if you're not sure where to go from here, the rears are a little more involved than the front.

How did you get the rotor off with the parking brake on pretty much impossible

I did mine yesterday, the parking brake needs to be off or if try to remove the rear rotors and it on you can damage the drum brakes mechanism.
