There is no damage at all, you had your car in a gear that was too weak to resist rolling. What you were actually doing was spinning the engine as the car was rolling.

I wouldnt worry about it. As long as the key was off. If you had a decent speed going and the key on, you would've probably actually push-started the car.

but its good practice to tow/push the car in neutral though
