Linking steam with battle.net and lost my skins

Hey!! I play Overwatch through my steam account, and I recently wanted to change my name. I did not have a Battle.net account and I needed to make one to change my name as Google told me.
So, I made a brand new Battle.net account with no progress on it because I didn’t own one, and linked my Steam account to the battle.net account and logged in through Steam (I also checked in Battle.net if it is the same) and I have lost all my skins, and all my progress. I really want to fix this because I want my skins back. :frowning: Someone please help!!
