external stylesheet doesn't display right

Hi guys,
I am very new to web design and foolishly promised a friend to polish up his website. I have successfully mastered text changes and smaller things, but got a problem with replacing an image on the website that is encorporated in the external css file. When I first went onto the ftp server of the existing website I couldn't find the "main" html file (you know the one you get when right click - view page source). Every page is in php with a global stylesheet for the graphical display. In order to get my css changes to display, I have created this "main" html file myself by pasting the code into notepad. I completed my changes in css and there were also some changes to make to the "main" html file in order to get everything displayed as I wanted to. When I then copied the new css file onto the server, it was displayed in a weird way with a menu box 20px higher than it should be (although it had been fine when I tested it offline). As on the server there is no "main" html file, I don't know what to do. How on earth did the original developers get the spreadsheet right if that file is missing??? Where is that file? Please please help me, because I have promised that friend that I could get it done. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
