Default ARC Fault Type Breaker

First off, I'm basically an idiot when it comes to electricity. I shouldn't be allowed to do so much as touch an electrical switch ...

So last week, for a reason I forget, I turn off a few breakers. 2 were Arc Fault Breakers. I pushed the "test button" and one of them didn't seem to do anything.

When I was done doing whatever I was doing, I switched all the breakers back on and all seemed to be ok.

I noticed tonight, that my Guest Room, Guest Bathroom and Lanai lights aren't working. The ARC Fault breaker is in the "ON" position. It is not tripped into the OFF position. Pushing the "test" button doesn't do anything.

... but I still don't have lights in those 2 rooms. Could there be a GFI somewhere hidden in those rooms that might need to be reset?

Suggestions?
