With the iPhone 5s, it's common to accidentally damage the front camera flex cable, especially if you didn't completely remove the screen during the battery replacement. Another common thing to check is the home button connector, if either of these things isn't fully connected, it will cause the phone to bootloop.
I work in a cell phone repair shop and can understand the frustration of changing a battery and then finding the phone no longer turns on properly. We encounter this pretty commonly, and the good news is that it's rarely unrepairable.

It could also be you're replacement battery. Have you tried re-installing the original battery to see if the phone powers up properly?
If it doesn't work with the original battery, then you probably damaged something. The iPhone 5S is also subject to pry damage along the edge of the logic board, facing the battery. If you had to pry the battery out, this could be what happened. Take a close look, preferably with magnification to see if any parts were damaged.
