Typically, the worst that might happen is you could damage the crankshaft seals and possibly pull oil into the combustion chamber... in an extreme case push oil into the intake.
But, if you've only added one or two extra quarts (or liters), you probably haven't caused any permanent damage. But it's still not good to run it that way very long. Just drain a little oil and make sure the level is somewhere between the lines on the dipstick.
