Air filter may be full of oil.

Or airbox full of oil.

This means your new spark plugs are likely fouled.

Could be carbs, could be fuel pump, could be a number of things unrelated to the oil. Could be something you knocked loose while removing the fairings and changing the oil. First thing is first, does it have spark? Is it getting gas? Can you hear the fuel pump prime when you first turn on the key? Carb clean will usually fix 90% of problems with this bike, but rule out spark and other fuel issues first.
