Depends on what you did and what the car is or is not doing. Not doing anything, you either burned out one or more of the heavy fuses under the hood or burned through what is called a fuse-able link. That is a heavy section of wire either by the battery or the fuse box under the hood. They burn through if the short continues after the fuse blows or if it is on a circuit that is not fused. None of this is tragic or hard to fix, it just takes a little time. There are probably 3 or 4 of the fuse-able links in a group. Different colored wires about 6 inches long that probably have a tag in the middle that says fuse-able link. Most fuse blocks under the hood are on the drivers side inner fender.
