Stuck consolidation transaction to SELF -- now I have NO MONEY

I had a bitcoin wallet with very many unspent outputs.

Someone suggested that I "consolidate" the unspent outputs by sending a low fee transaction to myself.

I did just that and sent my entire wallet to myself in one transaction.

For a while, it was showing as unconfirmed transaction with balance.

However, now I have zero bitcoin in my wallet. The last transaction is that consolidation transaction and it says

Status: 0/unconfirmed, not in memory pool
Date: 8 Dec 2017 20:02
Total debit: -XXX BTC
Total credit: XXX BTC
Transaction fee: -0.00yy BTC
Net amount: -0.00yy BTC
Transaction ID: abcdefg000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

So, it does not look like my money was stolen, as it would show as an unrecognized transaction, but I just do not have the bitcoins in my wallet and this is unnerving to say the least.

Should I do anything such as "abandon transaction"? Or do I just wait?

Thanks!
