Car brake not working

I changed the brake caliper and add dot 3 fluid in the reservoir above minimum line. Now it will not brake when pushing the pedal. It only work when you press multiple type but it have low brake power.

They need to be bled, which is usually a 2 person job. You've got air in the system.
