Screwed up server

Long story short, I ran the following commands and screwed up the server.

mkdir /home/local (create /home/local folder)
cd /usr/local (go to /usr/local folder)
mv cpanel /home/local (move the cpanel folder under /usr/local to /home/local)

What can I do to reverse this? Have tried everything in my limited scope of knowledge. All sites are down.

  Hey there!  You should be able to place the files back in their original location with the following command:

  mv /home/local/cpanel/* /usr/local/cpanel

  I would expect that to work based on the commands you've provided.

  Can you try that and then we can go from there?
