Sorry - not a solution but you are not alone with this issue. If you check over at the Lenovo forums, you will find several others in the same position - this only seems to affect those who have a replacement screen. We are all awaiting help from Motorola/Lenovo, but to be honest there has not been much response as yet.

If you really need to get access to your phone, you can connect a USB mouse to the micro-usb port using an OTG cable, and then use the mouse instead of touch.

I’m having a related issue - after breaking my screen, I’ve tried 3 replacements and none have worked. All exhibit the same problem as you’re experiencing - no touch controls.
