Doesn't really matter now put a cap on and go on with life. Wouldn't hurt to change the oil but really nothing can be done.

you'll probably be ok. years ago my dad changed the oil on his truck before leaving for a fishing trip and drove about 200 miles when the throttle suddenly stuck. The oil cap must have not been on tight and it vibrated off and fell down onto the throttle body and locked it up. We put it back on and continued with the trip and nothing bad ever happened to the engine because of it.
