You have just found out why it is the most expensive mistake in your life to fail to hire a lawyer. There is a good chance this cannot be fixed, and if you can fix it, it will be very expensive. You will have to hire a lawyer and meet the 30 day deadline for either an appeal or motion for new trial. Your mistake may not be grounds to grant an appeal.
