G'day Eric. It is highly, very highly, unlikely that engine rough running is associated with the oil change you did. So relax on that front.
As for the rough running, you have made it clear that your mechanical knowledge is limited so I would strongly suggest you take your bike to a qualified motorcycle mechanic. Could be a spark plug breaking down, bad fuel from the winter break, valve adjustment required or any number of things. It is impossible to give an Internet diagnosis.
I don't where you are but I am sure someone on the forum can point you to a dealer or independent shop in your area.
Good luck mate.
Cheers
Ah! Washington DC I see. Got to be plenty of options for you. Post some photos of your bike and rides when you are happy with the bike.
