Did you backed up the original AT firmware before uploading Arduino sketch ?
Because when uploading Arduino sketch is uploaded, the previous AT firmware is gone, completely erased ...
If you don't have such backup, you will need to find the file on Espressif site and use esptool.py to upload it according to their instructions.

You can
download the firmware from the Espressif website.
These instruction will show you how to re-install the standard Non-OS AT firmware.
Extra tip: get yourself a selection of ESP-boards: from plain ESP-boards to complete development-boards.
They're only a couple of bucks/euros/quid each and they makes life so much easier.
