The sand is turning red/brown because it now has algae growing on it probably due to an increase in nutrients caused by the death of critters when you changed the salinity so fast. Ride it out, it will pass.
I would just leave your tank be for a bit and let it recover for a couple of weeks. Always make sure to top off with fresh water, taste it first if you have to (I'm sure you know that by now though  ).

Always try and make any water chemistry changes gradually.
When you get a chance , invest in an RO/DI system, it really does make a big difference by starting with PURE water as compared to tap water.
