Sounds like you almost poped the bead on the tire. Should be able to let all the air out, mix some soap and water to act as a lube and get the tire and wheel good and wet. Fill the tire with air and the tire should pop back out. Be careful to stand well clear of the tire while filling. If you have never done much work with tires take it in to your local shop and they can fix it easily. Hope you didn't do any damage to the rim, should take a close look and make sure it didn't get bent.

yup, Vaquero is right.
Your tire slipped inward past the safety lock.
Do the soap trick, but be careful!! ATV tires pop hard when
the beads seat!!
