Probably... Sounds like you shorted a Hot or Live wire to Neutral or Ground by wiring the plug wrongly. The breakers should have tripped to protect the circuit's wiring from main supply panel to wall outlet, to protect you from having a house fire, but the plug itself would have overheated or could have caught on fire...
If you ended up wiring the plug wrongly like that, you were lucky not to have been injured yourself. You would be wise to take that as a "lesson learned the hard way" not to mess about with things you really don't understand ...
<><><> By asking this question you are not ready to take on this particular task. You may or may not get lucky and receive some information in an answer here! If you hope to get enough information on this site to be able to do this job properly and safely, please do not rely on getting accurate information about such a potentially dangerous subject. Really, don't do this one yourself. Electricity is far too dangerous to handle if you have not been trained how to do this work.
How to do this job depends entirely on the Wiring Codes or Regulations for the locality (Town/State) and on the exact location of the outlets you wish to install. If it is anywhere that is subject to water splashes or spray - such as in any room supplied with running water pipes, like a kitchen, bathroom, shower room, etc., or in a pool-side area - in many places nowadays it is actually illegal to attempt to do this kind of work unless you are already a licensed electrician. If you don't want to go to your local library or bookstore - to find and read some books about electrical wiring and appliances and how to install them safely, and about your local Wiring Codes and Regulations - then the best advice anyone should give to you is to call a licensed electrician either to do the job for you or to advise you what you may be allowed to do yourself. Before you do any work yourself,
on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,
always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.

What else can I help you with?
How many watts does a generator have to have to run a blow dryer?
Check the wattage of the blow dryer and add 500 watt. This will be the size of generator you will need to use.
Is a blow dryer a part of static electricity?
No, a blow dryer does not produce static electricity. Static electricity is generated when two objects rub against each other, creating a charge imbalance. A blow dryer simply dries hair using heated air.
Why is it dangerous to take a bath with a blow dryer?
It is dangerous to take a bath with a blow dryer because mixing water with electricity can lead to electrocution. Water is a good conductor of electricity, and using electrical devices near water increases the risk of electric shock. It is important to always keep electrical devices away from water to prevent accidents.
Can you change the wall outlet to fit a 4 prong dryer outlet?
It's probably more difficult than you might expect. I'm assuming you have a NEMA 5-15R outlet, and you want to plug in a dryer that has a NEMA 14-30P plug at the end of its electric cable. The NEMA 5-15R outlet is by far the most common type of outlet in North America. It has two flat slots (hot and neutral), and a round safety ground hole. It is rated for 15 A and 125 V. On the other hand, most electric clothes dryers have an electric cable with a NEMA 14-30P plug on the end. It has two flat slots (2 hots from 2 different phases, each one 120 V from neutral, and each one rated at 30 A), an L slot (neutral), and a round safety plug. It is possible for an electrician to "fish" a electric cable carrying the necessary phases through the wall from the fuse box to that outlet, and then pull the old outlet and install a new outlet. If one merely did that last part -- pulled the old outlet and placed a new outlet -- without the proper electrical cables in the wall behind it, then the dryer would probably blow the fuse at the fusebox every time it was turned on.

What do you do when your blow dryer gets wet?
The very first thing to do is safely unplug the blow dryer. I would then examine the dryer to see if water got to the inside of the blow dryer. If you find that water got into the inside I would personally pitch the dryer for fear of a later electrical shock when using it. If moisture get into the heating element, it could cause a shortage in the dryer when using because moisture could be trapped within it. If no water got into the inside for sure, just dry it off and let it dry for a day and use it again. If you are not sure, I would rather be safe than sorry. Get another blow dryer.
