This is clearly the wrong thing to do.
First, you need to correct this mistake:
Select the whole document (using ctrl+home, ctrl+shift+end), open the
character dialog, select "Reset" in the family button, and press apply
(the document font should return to Roman).
Now, open the preamble dialog and add the line
\renewcommand{\familydefault}{\sfdefault}
and press OK.
It will not change the font on the LyX screen, but it will change the font in
the dvi/postscript file.
