Assuming you have handled your meter correctly, Melanie is absolutely right.

But as any "cheap" Meter today has a at least a 2mA Range, you have probably just missed move the red wire on your meter from the "V" jacket to the "A" jacket to measure current.

You could also have blown the Meters Fuse by trying to measure Voltage in the "Current" setting.
