Don't feel too bad, we've all done this or something similar a time or two. I did this once on another car and no major damage was caused. First, check the fuses to see if anything is out of order. I would take the old battery to have it tested at a parts store, as it may still be good. If it can be charged, charge it off the car and then try again to start the car. If that doesn't work, I would find a loaner or used battery to see if you can get the car started and then have the electrical system tested. If you check your owners manual or get a repair manual for the car, it should tell you where the main fuse block is and what to check.
Check for any melted or deformed wires at the battery cable ends and within the positive and negative wires' harnesses, at least as far down as you can see into the harnesses.

Good luck
