Hi SW

Either someone forgot to turn the hot water supply back on to the valve, OR the hot inlet to the valve (or cartridge) is plugged with sediment/debris. If the water is back on, for sure, then shut the water off, diassemble the valve, pulse the water supply on for a few seconds, inspect the cartridge and see what happens. Something should reveal itself pretty quick!

I agree with Mark. Start by reinacting how you shut down your water supply to do the replacement. Check that every valve is no open.
