Sorry to hear that, but at least you caught it quickly... Rather than totally canceling your card, you should be able to simply have AMEX re-issue a card with a new account number. I've had that happen twice before, and my bank just gave me a new number. On my credit report, it shows up as an additional account, but has all of the history from my card prior to the re-issue.
I'd just get a re-issue, call all of the auto-pay recipients, notify them of the new number, and go from there. Normally, when you get a re-issue, the old card number still works for a month or two while you get everything transferred over to the new card (or at least, that's how my bank did it).
