Your symptom indicates a brake fluid leak. You should be able to find the leak near the brake calipers by looking for the presence of brake fluid (it is very oily and does not evaporate.) Brake fluid may have leaked out of the caliper assembly while you were shopping for your disc pads, or, maybe you opened the bleeder valve and forgot to close it. If fluid leaked out, it is possible that air leaked into the system and it is important to bleed all of the air out.
Bleeding the brake lines is easy except for when the bleeder valve is so stuck that it breaks when you try to open it. This is not uncommon! Use an anti-seize product like Liquid Wrench, WD-40, or equivalent to increase your odds of success. Use only a six-point socket of the exact right size! If it takes too much force to get it to open (counter clockwise) then let it soak in the anti-seize liquid you applied for a longer amount of time (overnight). When the bleeder valve loosens, turn it about a half turn open and then fluid will be ejected when the brake pedal is stroked in either the toward-the-floor, or, the back up direction.
Make sure you have enough brake fluid in your brake fluid reservoir by putting in clean new fluid from the parts store. Two or three strokes of the brake pedal for each wheel should bleed out all the air.
The bleeder valves look like grease fittings (zerk type) and are on the brake calipers very close to where the brake line attaches.
You do not want to mess up a brake job! What is more important than being able to stop? This is not a big ticket item to have your professional mechanics do it for you.
