I mistakenly made a wire transfer (through swift) to an online scammer. I then asked my bank to issue a recall, which didn't work. Then I let them issue a fraudulent recall, now the receiver says the fund is put on hold. What does that mean? What now?

It means you shouldn't trust people who have scammed you.
What now?
Stop communicating with the scammer.
Work with your bank and your local police
