The PageRank you see in your toolbar or other tool is stale information. While PageRank is updated regularly at Google they only update the toolbar PageRank periodically. This number is probably obsolete by the time the toolbar is updated so it can not be used to accurate find a page's true PageRank.
PageRank is per page, not per website. So your website never had a PageRank of 1. Your website's home page had a PageRank of 1.
If you didn't do 301 redirects from the old URLs to the new URLs then you are starting over in Google's eyes. Any PageRank you had for your previous pages is not "transferred" to their new URLs unless you do a 301 redirect. This tells Google that the page has moved and to update their rankings and "transfer" the PageRank to the new page. Some PageRank is lost but it is a nominal amount.
