What?! Plugging the gyro into the PWM port? I hope you did not fry it. Gyro is an analog sensor, so it should be connected to an analog channel. A few years back, because of mis-communication, one of the members of our team hooked the two encoders to the PWM ports and fried them both. That was hard to debug until we put an oscilloscope on the encoders and saw nothing there. So please don't try things out by hooking them to random ports.
