Biblatex issues: citation nicknames showing up in document and no reference section being produced

I am receiving this error message whenever I compile by LaTex document:

• I found no \citation commands---while reading file Final Paper.aux


• I found no \bibdata command---while reading file Final Paper.aux


• I found no \bibstyle command---while reading file Final Paper.aux

My preamble contains this command for my bibliography:

• \bibliography{Psy 290.bib} \defbibheading{bibliography}{ \section*{\normalfont\refname}}

In my document, I am using \parencite and \textcite for referencing. I have also tried \cite, \citet, and \citep and just receive another error message stating those commands are not recognized. Does anybody have any insight into what may be happening?
