A fuse has blown or you have fried the alternator.
Check the main fuses and ensure you have battery voltage to the alternator main terminal.
Never try jumping wires without knowing what you are doing. I wonder why you did that?

You need to check the fuses in the under hood fuse box and the underdash fuse box. Most likely there is a blown fuse.
