Well, to be honest, P brake does not have enough hold to prevent car from moving in either direction. So it's no P brake.
Get her up on stands and see if you can manually spin wheel you worked on, with gear shifter in N. If you can, problem is not on the brake end. If you can't take it all apart and check how easily caliper piston can be pressed back. Even lay caliper horizontal, piston up, and squirt a good liquid lubricant onto piston, between piston and dust boot on it, so that it soaks down between .piston wall and its bore. Sorta sounds like you ended with seized caliper - or there is no return of hydraulic fluid back into system. pinched something, or bent.
