Spark plug change gone horribly wrong. Need help

WHY HELLO. My names Zack, or you can call me idiot if you will for the rest of this thread. I just got my license back and picked up a 92 Camaro RS LO3, and changed plugs. went easy enough until the final plug. Plug 8. Shes a bitch. Got it out after some wedging of my arm underneath everything, but when i took the new one to slap in, well, theres this bolt right next to it that i had noticed, but didnt realize that it was hot until the socket completed a circuit to the spark plug, socket wrench, and my arm. Now that im back from the hospital, i want my car to run again. The car turns on, lights on, fan on, radio on, all that good shwit, but there is NO crank to it whatsoever. YES, i realize that i shouldve unplugged the battery (bout to shove a foot up some smart alic doctors rear), but somebody PLEASE point me in the right direction to be cruisin the streets again.
Thanks in advance,
Zack

Yeah, no luck. I was already out checking them all (hoping it was my VATS fuse) and theyre all registering fractions of an ohm.

Yah, check the fusable link. That must have been one hell of a shock to send you to the hospital.
