filament not extruding

Hey,
so I probably did this wrong but i had a print where i ran out of filament and I didn't know that i was supposed to extrude backwards the filament until the filament line comes out of the filament detector and run the new spool in. So instead I let it run out and inserted a new spool thinking the new filament would essentially push the old line in and just keep going. The issue I have now is that i have fed my new spool in and the printer will no longer extrude any filament. I'm not sure how to fix this issue, seeing as i incorrectly replaced the spool and fed it in.
Any ideas on what my next step would be to fix this?
thanks!

If you heat the nozzle to 230C, can you press the release button on the side of the extruder to disengage the motor (it’s a very stiff button!!), and then try to push the new filament through by hand?
