   I wanted to add a splash page to my already established blog, so I changed the root index.php to contain "require('../wp-blog-header.php');".

   Then I created a new folder called blog in my root directory and put in this php file. I then went into the admin panel and accidently changed both the website URL and blog URL to http://www.mywebsite.com/blog and now I can't get into the wp-login.php.

   I am not able to access any of the admin functions nor am I able to see the website properly now. I know I should have done this on a practice domain, but it's not like I'm losing huge money by having the site down.

   Can anybody help me with this please?? Thanks!

   It sounds like you may need to start by manually changing back the url's in your database. This might help get you started. You will need to have access to whatever MySql database management tools your hosting service provides for you.
