I put new brake pads on last weekend and then attempted to bleed the brakes. The reservoir went down about halfway and stopped. And from them on it just stays full no matter how much I pump.

This is what I tried. Removed the brake line connecter at the caliber, and then pumped still nothing so i moved to the mater cylinder removed the connector at the top of it and pumped and no fluid squirted out of the top and the reservoir stayed full.

So Im assuming it must be the master cylinder, but it worked just fine before I replaced the pads. Could it have went bad just like that? and does it need to be rebuilt or just cleaned or something?

Try using a brake bleeding pump to get them bled. You can rent one at an auto parts store. If you can't get them bled with that then I'd say a seal went bad in your master.
