Looks like you need to restore the original metadata to the drive, from before you accidentally modified it. You'll find a history of metadata backups in /etc/lvm/archives. Pick the last one that looks good (read them, they're text files) and use vgcfgrestore to write it back to the drive. Then "vgchange -ay" should find the volume group and make all the logical volumes active.
