Sounds like you tank has gone into a mini cycle. Do water changes to bring the am and trites to 0 if you have fish in the tank. If not then let it cycle. I agree about removing the bio-balls but do it slowly. I wouldn't mess with them until the am and trites are gone. Then start removing them a bit at a time. If you go too fast you will end up with amonia and nitrites again.
