In Illustrator it is not like Photoshop. When you make something on a path like Brush or Text on a Path, it will remove your shape but your path will still exist and you can't add more things to the same path like brush and text for example.

So like tromboniator said , You can copy the shape first.

Or, without making a copy:

Click outside the text path object to deselect it.

Use the Direct Selection tool to select the path that has disappeared.

Give it a fill and stroke.

Copy the yellow circle and paste in front, then add the type to the copy,
