Since you have distributed switch switch now, you would have standard switch before creating this VDS. You need to restore VSS from console of ESXI. When you restore the standard switch, a new virtual adapter is created and the management network uplink that is currently connected to Distributed Switch is migrated to the new virtual standard switch.

Please check : vSphere Documentation Center

Utilize Direct Console User Interface (DCUI) and ESXi Shell to Troubleshoot, Configure, and Monitor ...

Note : This will only migrate management network, you will have to create VM portgroup and migrate VMs manually.
