Hey there,
If you want to keep your WordPress.org blog, you’ll need to transfer it to a new host, or to WordPress.com.
Please let me know if I can be of any further help with the move.
Cheers,

You can transfer the contents of your blog here following this guide: http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#moving-from-wordpress-org
Then, map your domain to your WordPress.com blog following this guide: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/map-existing-domain/

You would need a WordPress.com blog here, and you do have one at whoisurbanbuttafly.wordpress.com
To direct your domain back to that, you just need to change your namservers to:
NS1.WORDPRESS.COM NS2.WORDPRESS.COM NS3.WORDPRESS.COMYou can change your nameservers following this guide: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/change-name-servers/
But, before you do that, make sure that you export your other blog’s content, and import it via https://whoisurbanbuttafly.wordpress.com/wp-admin/admin.php?import=wordpress

My website switched back to what it looked like before I switched host does that mean I did it right?

Yes, if you direct the domain back here, you’ll see your old WordPress.com blog content.
If you want the content from your hosted blog, you’ll need to export and import it as mentioned above before directing the domain back here.
