you have very likely set the timing out, do not run it! or bye-bye to your valves!

You need to get the belt timed up and you'll find it running normal again- unless there is already damage!

+1, get a new belt the other one will be damaged (not visibly) and get someone who knows what they are doing to fit and time her up again. Also get a cambelt cover mate to stop it happening again.
