Im 4cm and 80% effaced had a membrane sweep and contractions stopped? did it not work?

Depends: Depends on what you expected from the membrane sweeping. Studies show membrane sweeping will decrease the likelihood of a patient remaining pregnant more than 1 week beyond their due date. It is not a guarantee of putting you into labor.
