I rode several rides on my new bike with Prestas with a Schrader inner tube in the bag. I was lucky to not find that out the hard way.
I just checked my bike. It has schrader valves on it. I checked the tube I bought today....Presta. I checked the pump I bought, it works on both Schrader and Presta valves.

So are you saying that the bike rim wouldn't accept the tube I bought with the Presta valve?
Thanks

P.S. Thanks everyone for the tips. I didn't realize how much there is to know about biking. I appreciate it.
