Looks like the rings were screwed on too tight. No room for the air to escape so the lids expanded this way.
You will need to reprocess as they are not sealed. How long ago did you can them?
Careful when opening the jars.

I did this once. And yes, you either need to reprocess, or re-lid and freeze. Be kind to yourself. Canning logic is different from regular lid logic.
