Elasticsearch does not support downgrades to an earlier version. If indices has been accessed in a newer version they can no longer be opened by nodes running an older version.

It is not clear to me exactly what you have done. Could you please elaborate? It would also help if you shared a lot more of the logs...

What did you do to Elasticsearch and the host on which it is running that resulted in closed indices?

Also please provide more of the logs. The excerpt you provided lacks context.

It'd be good if you could share a bunch of the log, it provides context to what is happening and we may be able to identify something you have missed.
