You likely are viewing the site in Design Mode.  Try logging out and see of you can see content.  If so, log back in and, look for the "Design" link in the control panel.  Click on it.  If you are using version 4.8 of DotNetNuke, it's labelled clearly as a Radio Button.  In earlier versions, it's a bit hidden.

You can delete all teh skins manually if you can browse the directory.  Just delete all the skins you don't want out of the appropriate portalroot\skin folder.  Dont' delete the default ones though (dnn-blue and gray)

Then next time you open the website and log in as admin it'll show a red error at the top, but the blue skin will be back, and you just go into the skin menu, and apply the blue skins and containers, the error will go away, and you can then attempt to fix the problem again.

post the ENTIRE code of the .ascx and HTM files.

Is there an HTM file in your package?  if so you know it'll overright the ascx file when you upload it right?:
