Okay, what you must have done was double tap and moved your icons. If you held them down just right, they would have been moved to other pages. If you have a current backup, I think you could fix this more easily just by connecting to your computer or using iCloud (whichever you are doing) and doing a "restore from backup" but don't do that unless you have a pretty current backup.
Otherwise, the only way I know of to do it is to double tap and hold each item until it says moving app and then keeping your finger on the iPod and moving the item. When it says "cjamgomg page" (may not be exact words) just hold there till it changes pages. Just remember that if a page gets too full that page either won't accept something moved or will move something else off the page onto another one. This can be kind of slow and tiresome process so if you get frustrated take a break and rest your fingers. This is a real quicky explanation because i'm in a hurry so somebody else may post something more detailed and/or you may be able to find a podcast on it. That's such an awful feeling - to have everything organized and then have everything come out of its folders and spread over several pages.
