Changed battery cable, heard a hiss, brakes don't work.

2002 93 with 75K on it. I was changing a fuzzy blue battery cable and heard a hiss when I had my hand stuck up near the starter from under the car. The hiss lasted about one second and then stopped. When I went for a test drive I noticed that the brake pedal was stiffer and wouldn't go all the way down like it used to. Tried heavy braking but nothing changed. I also noticed that when I turned the car off, the brake pedal forcefully pushed itself up away from the floor.
I wasn't really touching anything when I had my hand up behind the engine where the positive cable wraps around the back of it when I heard the hiss. Brake fluid level is fine and fairly new.
What did I unfix and how do I refix it?
The car will stop when I hit the brakes, but so do trains.
