You most certainly need a lawyer. If you had to bond out this is a jailable offense. If not handled properly you can lose certain freedoms and rights. What the judge probably said was that he/she was enetering an initial plea of not guilty. That just means that currently you have not admitted to the charges but you still have to answer to them. Speak with an attorney asap.
