After double checking I still managed to hook the + wire to the - post and the - wire to the + post, and fried something. Now the battery doesn't charge and the guage reads 0 amps. Please help me figure out what needs to be replaced/fixed/tested so the battery charges again. Thanks.

you may have fried the alt. and possibly burnt the fusible link off of the starter solenoid.
