Not usually. It is rather bad for the sleeping bag, but it shouldn't ruin it. Just dry it and try to get it "fluffy". If it does, it should still keep you warm effectively. If you want to be sure, just try it out.

The air trapped between the down is warmed by the person inside the sleeping bag, and so feels warm and comfortable to sleep in. When wetness clumps the down and removes the air spaces between the down, body heat loss is increased considerably, and a wet, cold sleeping bag is not conducive to a good night's sleep.
