No, that electrocute (?) shock should not cause any long lasting damage.

Be reassured. You didn't suffer cardiac or respiratory arrest, severe burn or damage to muscles or internal organs. You sustained a mild electrical shock.

Call in a electrician to fix the short or loose wire so you don't shocked again. The shock was mild but you don't want it to get worse, a larger shock could cause great harm.
