The only thing you did wrong was expecting that she'll say yes, and getting upset that she didn't.
In your case, the way you handle rejection can determine whether the friendship will work or not. If you didn't accept her answer calmly, and thanked her for her honesty, then it's going to be awkward. She probably thinks she caused you a great deal of sadness by just speaking the truth, and really doesn't know how to talk to you.
My advice, send her a text saying you understand and that there are no hard feelings (and mean those words). After that, move on and give her space.
Am I an idiot for doing this?
