You likely cannot start working immediately given the information provided. The employer will likely need to file a new petition on your behalf. You will likely need to file a change of status or seek a visa abroad given the information provided. The employer's immigration attorney can provide case specific guidance as he/she will have to review the matter thoroughly to determine how to best proceed.
