*****Depends on how much more was "too much", and how long it was in there for and what kind of driving was done. Too much oil typically causes aeration issues as the oil gets whipped up with lots of air and this reduces lubricity. If you run the engine hard it could for sure cause damage. Also, it can blow out seals and gaskets due to all of the extra oil being flinged around by the crankshaft and the increase in internal motor pressure. If the oil is really high up beyond the normal level you might see a bunch of blue smoke coming out the exhaust pipe, especially under acceleration. This burnt oil can coke up and damage lots of components, and gum up and ruin O2 sensors, etc..

Fix it asap, You'll know if you damaged anything as the car will not run right and you might have a check engine light issue. Pull the codes and see what it is. If it's misfiring, the plugs may need to be removed and cleaned up as that oil in the combustion chamber can cause them to get very dirty and basically make them not work to their full potential and cause misfires which reduce performance.

Just fix the oil level and see what happens.
