Did I brake it

Maintenance/Repairs

I recently replaced my brake pads on my '00 Olds Intrigue and now the pedal feels too soft/spongy. I checked the calipers prior to installing the pads, bled the lines and ensured the lines weren’t pinched.

After I installed the pads I tried to brake and nothing, straight to the floor. Then I opened the bleeders and gave a few pumps of the pedal and they shot off like old faithful, but after closing them, I still didn’t have enough pressure to hold the car if I put it in gear. I’m hoping against hope that I just have stuck calipers ( still bad) and not a bad master cylinder. What’s next?
