<p>You have to stop/reverse the old Bitcoin transaction you created without confirmations:
Make a backup of your wallet.dat</p>

<p>Run <code>bitcoind</code> or <code>bitcoin-qt</code> with <code>-zapwallettxes=1</code> option.
<br>
This makes the wallet "forget" any unconfirmed transactions, thus enabling you to reuse their inputs.
Create a new transaction to make your payment and add an appropriate fee this time.</p>

<p>You can now send the bitcoins where ever you want or you can send them all back to yourself.</p>

I'm in the same situation. If this info is correct your coins should return in two days:  #9312 a72f76c Increase mempool expiry time to 2 weeks (morcos) https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/release-notes/release-notes-0.14.0.md

Now that you've done the zap wallet thing do `bitcoind -rescan` and the coins should show in your wallet.

You have to stop/reverse the old Bitcoin transaction you created without confirmations:
Make a backup of your wallet.dat

Run `bitcoind` or `bitcoin-qt` with `-zapwallettxes=1` option.
  
This makes the wallet "forget" any unconfirmed transactions, thus enabling you to reuse their inputs.
Create a new transaction to make your payment and add an appropriate fee this time.

You can now send the bitcoins where ever you want or you can send them all back to yourself.
