New Wall Outlets Won't Work?

The plugs worked in the bedroom and we changed them all out even some in other parts of the house. Now all the ones in bedroom stopped working. The rest of house plugs and lights work.

It could be that a GFCI is protecting the circuit and it is tripped. If so, that is the easy fix. Find and reset the GFCI.

More likely is that a bad connection exists in the rewire. draw out a map of the house with the breaker panel and imagine wire running from receptacle to receptacle, originating at the breaker. somewhere the chain is broken. Beginning with the receptacle with power at the end of the chain, followed by the receptacle without power next in the chain, search for the bad connection. Never work electrical hot. Always shut off power at the breaker first.
