What should I do if I put my direct deposit information in incorrectly? I can’t amend my taxes because the 1040X isn’t ready.

You don't amend for that.  Simply call the IRS and ask them to cancel the deposit.  They will mail you a paper check to the address on your tax return.  (They won't accept a request to change bank accounts, for security reasons, and even if you could amend, all refunds on amended returns are always paid by check.)
