I must've clicked and dragged by mistake because now my Documents folder is inside my Downloads folder. When I drag the folder to the side pane, it simply creates a link there to the /home/kris/Downloads/Documents folder. How do I get it back the way it was (not as a subdirectory)?

Try right click Documents cut, go up a level (/home/kris) and paste..
or in terminal...
Code:
mv /home/kris/Downloads/Documents /home/kris/
if you get a permissions error use sudo
Code:
sudo mv /home/kris/Downloads/Documents /home/kris/
