I have broken my network. WAN and LAN can reach the internet, 2nd LAN or VLANs cannot- ISSUE RESOLVED

ISSUE HAS BEEN RESOLVED- LEAVE POST IN CASE SOMEONE ELSE HAS THE SAME PROBLEM IN THE FUTURE.
I am at a loss. While trying another project I seem to have completely broken my network. Prior to messing around with crap, I had a functioning LAN, several VLANs, switches, and a server running. I actually thought I knew how to set up things in PFsense. I cannot figure out exactly how I broke it, so I just started over. The only thing that has not been reset to factory is the server (I am not introducing this back into the network until the network is up and running).
Where I am right now. I have downloaded and installed a fresh ISO of PFsense, loaded it onto a PROTECTLI, reset the switches, and reset my network configurations on my laptop.
Installed and set-up PFsense:
Normal installation with 2 interfaces: WAN and LAN and switch. This seems to work fine, switch and laptop both receive IP addresses and I can reach the internet (thats how I am here right now).
IP Address Range 10.27.27.1/24
Because I was having such issues with VLANs, I decided to just make another LAN on OPT2 (Named NSFW). Set up was normal. Created interface, assigned interface, enabled interface, set up DHCP with IP range, and set wide open rules just to try to get it to work. Connect laptop, it receives an IP address within set range (10.28.28.1/24) Ping 10.28.28.1, Good. Ping 10.27.27.1, Good. Ping 1.1.1.1, Good Ping google.com,Failed

I checked the NAT rules, they are set to automatic and include the 10.28.28.1 range.
I did this same thing with a VLAN last night and had the exact same results.
I used one of the Lawrence System tutorials to set everything back up, step by step, line by line.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO!!!!!
HELP!!!!

Could be a DNS error. Your rule on NSFW shows an open state. Try restarting the DNS Resolver. Check if Resolver is listening on All interfaces, in its config page.

Other than the main LAN, interfaces require a firewall rule to allow them access to the Internet. Have you done that?

I LOVE YOU.... I have spent over 18 hours working on this damn thing, to include messing with the DNS resolver settings but never restarted it after adding the LANs or VLANs.
-
@onyxmal1 Awwwww. :) It probably wasn't bound to the VLAN IP then.

I have literally been laying in the closet for 3 whole days. Factory reseting things, changing settings until it breaks, and starting over. Thank you so much!
