Sounds like the rod that goes onto the door lock module has been pushed into the lock position.
Have you put it all back together?

Have you got a photo? Don't want you cutting into things if you don't need to.

it happened to me when I changed the lock and I panicked when it locked shut. Getting my arm in there and moving the lever worked for me.

Phew you haven't put the door card back. You should just be able to remove the metal door plate and get access to the lock module. Will be a pain to get the metal off again but should be possible

I fixed it :D,thanks @Alexis27 and @Battoussai .If the same thing happens to someone, all you have to do is release the cable that is connected to the outside handle. just pull the handle and you can see the cable from the side, disconnect the cable and push it inside then you can open the car with inside handle.
