I'm assuming its fixed now...
I pressed it "by mistake" too lol. After a bit of fiddling it came back.

I pressed the screen in different spots and then the recent button worked. After that the touch slowly came back. If your still stuck try hard reset

Is this in reference to the thread I posted as well? If so at what point did you get stuck with the reflash to stock? or did you not want to have to go back to stock?

no flashing...just rooting then stuck....then I used LG tool to put the original firmware and it worked and it says phone is unrooted now and touchscreen is still not working. I will send it to warranty i think.

Ya I just did some digging to see what other options there were and came up short... if attempting warranty doesn't work, (they won't honor) you can try a screen replacement. It is fairly easy on these phones. You can always claim insurance if you have it as well though depending on your plan it may still be a better option to attempt it yourself. I gave up on insurance after best buy stopped covering phones they didn't sell to you directly so I'm not sure what the plans look like today. If you do go the warranty route let me know how it turns out.

flashing back to stock will not help you. You will still be frozen! If your still stuck I found this thread that might help
