What is WINSC and what commands did you run to do this damage ? – user9517 Nov 05 '12 at 15:15

I suspect this isn't what you want but I can't think what your problem is as I've never heard of a directory becoming a file without it being deleted and recreated as a file anyway
mv /opt /optsafe
mkdir /opt

@ImranKhan: after having searched your filesystem just in case it has been moved elesewhere I suspect you'll be reaching for your backups. – user9517 Nov 05 '12 at 15:20
