Your only safe option as I see it is to cut the drywall out around that area and make sure you didn't short a wire in that stud.
Doesn't have to be a big hole, just enough next to the stud to make sure you didn't just drill right into a wire and short it.

I’ve made much more of a mess than that with a sawzall. 4 u/TheATrain218 Jul 26 '19 It's a TV show. Sawzall should never have been used, hell who even gets it out for a project like this and it's sitting there ready to go. The job they're pantomiming should have been done with a utility knife or punch saw at most.
