My guess is that you pulled on the CV axle with excessive force.
IMHO, I would replace it. No telling what kind of damage it has and it will need to be completely removed in any case to even attempt to inspect it fully.
Why risk it and have to do the work twice.
I would also suggest you go back and properly tighten all the hardware correctly before test driving it again.
