NO.
yeah, you did kind of shoot yourself in the foot, but no permanent damage...
but of course don't drive it until you get it filled correctly.
there are two bolts that both look like drain bolts. the higher one is the fill hole
and the hole you check for the fluid level. the lower one is the drain hole.
DO NOT CHECK LEVEL WITH ENGINE OFF. ONLY CHECK LEVEL WITH ENGINE RUNNING AND IN NEUTRAL AND WARMED UP AND LEVEL.
so now you'd be better off dropping the pan, changing the filter, and refilling.
but if you really don't want to do all that right now, refill to the correct level and go on your merry way. you have to use a hand pump you can buy at the parts store, or many use a pressurized garden sprayer.
you will be filling it up part way, then checking the level under the above conditions until it just starts to dribble out that check-and-fill hole.
is this enough to get you set, or do you need more info ?
