What have I done???

So I decided it was time to wean my 15 mo from her pacifier. She was never a big user, only ever using it to sleep. I decided to wean her cold turkey, and of course she cried and was fussy for a few days, but she’s been sleeping through the night completely (where she would usually wake up looking for her pacifier.

But she CANNOT self soothe. I have to rock her to sleep or else she’ll just stand in her crib and cry. We went completely backwards, seeing as she was able to put herself to sleep, and now it’s like we’re back in the newborn era with the rocking to sleep and playing white noise. Is this normal? Or should I taken a different approach with the paci weaning?
