Take the 5 screws out the body of the pump, and when separated you will see the rubber type valves, there is 3 of them and one will be unseated, put it back in position and it should be OK.  If it happens again get a valve kit, and replace.  Its not your pressure switch.

No problem, glad you got it fixed.  Remember though if it happens again you are better getting the new valve kit for it, will save a lot of time messing around.  You may want to check to see if you have anything floating about in your tank, as it is usually something that gets into the pump that causes the valve to unseat.
