A radiator in my bathroom was not heating up at the top so I bleed the radiator. Now the whole central heating and water does not work. I think this is down to the pressure within the system, does this sound about right? If so is this an easy thing for me to fix or is it best to call in a plumber? (I have a Worcester 24CDi, which is about 5 years old)

Sarah,
Your installer should have left a plastic 'Filling Key' which is used to top up the system. If you inherited the system when you bought the house then it may have gone missing.
As ChrisR has said, have a look at the WB (Worcester-Bosch) Web Site.
Here's the link to your Boiler.
http://www.worcester-bosch.co.uk/index.php?fuseaction=product.literature&con_id=5056
Click on User Instructions & Customer Care Guide for details on filling. Its page 5 (which appears upside down on the pdf on the site). Its best if you print out the document. The Filling point is underneath the boiler. You may need to remove a panel to get access to the Filling Loop. Once you have access, you insert the Filling Key and turn and allow the system to re-pressurise to about 1.5bar on the pressure dial then turn the key to stop filling (just follow the instructions on the link. But be careful of the point Softus is making above.
If you haven't got the Filling Key you could try contacting Worcester-Bosch and ask if they'll send you one. Not sure how long that would take to arrive. You could try a trip to a local Plumb Centre, Bat your eye lashes, Smile Sweetly
and ask if they have a spare you can borrow until your replacement arrives. The key normally comes in the box with the boiler so I'm not sure they will have one.
