HOW CAN I FIX MY LIGHTING?

I HAVE PUT IN A NEW TWO WASWITCH IN THHALLWAY(UPSTAIRS / DOWNSTAIRS) IT WORKS BUT NOW THE UPSTAIRS ROOM'S LIGHTS DO NOT WORK. HOW DO I RESOLVE THIS? HOW ARE THOSE WIRES LINKED TO THE OTHER ROOMS?

the landing light controlled from up and downstairs- you should have 5 wires in one switch and 3 in other switch.
if its a two gang switch you have replaced you may have lost switch return to light NOT on two way circuit
is replacement switch upstairs or downstairs
