Was doing a Radiator flush then....

Well I was doing a radiator flush(yep in the middle of winter). well the first thing I did was remove the drainage cap and radiator cap(the one infront) and we let the fluids out, then filled it back up in the same area(didn't know we needed to fill from the other cap) and started the car for 3 minute(we did this 2 times) 3rd time we were flipping through the manuals and used the cap by the alternator and discovered there was a bleed cap, we removed that too and tried to start the car, which only cranked, then we put the radiator cap back and tried to start, it only crank. Then we tighted the air bleed cap all the way and it cranked for a bit then the power cuts out completely. The power won't come back on what so ever. What could the probleM?

Not the radiator.
Have you bumped something else loose?
Is the battery low? Is it cranking fast enough?

I can't answer your question because a similar circumstance happened to me, and resulted in a locked engine As an added precaution get some MMO in the engine to protect against unknown elements. Good luck
