I migrated my site last week from an old .aspx framework to a new site hosted via WordPress.
The domain name is the same and I am seeing no errors when I test and submit the sitemap via Google Webmaster Tools. However, Google Webmaster Tools is showing that my indexed URLs dropped to ZERO the day after the switch, and it has not yet picked back up (the blue bar graph is listed at 448 URLs, there is no longer a red bar graph).
I still see my URLs in the SERPs, but much lower than before the move, and so a lot less Google traffic. How can I know for sure if something is going wrong? I can't seem to find anything to support this matter.

I've had the red bar in Google Webmaster Tools show up again when I fixed these two things:
I had the sitemap listed twice in the robots.txt file. I was using a robots plug-in and All-in one SEO plug-in which appended the sitemap link at the bottom of the robots.txt file. Look at your robots.txt file by going to www.yourdomain.com/robots.txt and seeing if you've got a similar problem.
I had 1,800 warnings from Google from the sitemap. I looked at the examples and saw that my sitemap was serving files I was telling robots.txt to block. I re-configured my sitemap plug-in not list those files to begin with. I'm not down to zero errors yet, but nearly so.
The bar you decribe is not the total number of URL's that are indexed, just the number of URL's that were indexed from that sitemap. you changed the sitemap so it's normal that that dropped to 0. Google Index > Index Status will still have a decent number indexed and if you Google site:mysite.com, there will still be a lot of indexed pages.
