that's the travel brackets that need to be removed before use, they hold the drum in place during transport you might of just messed up the whole machine, only way to know is to open it up yourself or get someone in to look at it

that looks like a travel bolt ciaran sure open it up and take a look

How long has the machine been running with that in place, if it is the travel bolt there will be one or two others depending on the machine?

I'd say there is something blocked in your pump if it is not filling,you should be able too get at the pump from underneath the machine,pull the pipes of it and check inside the pump rotors normally a coin or two wedged in there.
I'm an electrician and I have seen this quite a bit.
Good luck
