Please help me to retrieve changes.

You didn't just make your root directory readable, writeable, and searchable by everyone in the world; you made every file on your system readable, writeable, changeable, executable, delectable, and searchable by anyone who is able to access your system in any way shape or form.
I strongly suggest that you shut down the system as quickly as possible.
Then you can boot it up in single-user mode and try to restore your system to a stable point before you destroyed the system's self-protection capabilities by restoring everything from a recent backup dump. (You do perform regular backups, don't you?)
There is no "undo" command that can recover from you making every file on your system readable, writeable, executable, and searchable by everyone in the world!
