Question
While trying to wind the time (by pulling the brass anchor); I accidently pulled the other two pulleys, thus moving the  chimes almost to the top.  Now, I've got no chime, but it's telling time.  Can you help me.

Answer
if this is a 3 weight grandfather clock, you need to pull up all three weights, so you did nothing wrong. I have no clue what a "brass anchor" is.

try pulling down a bit on the right hand weight as you move the minute hand through a clockwise rotation of an hour or two to see if it will begin chiming again.
