I'm just guessing here, but it sounds to me like the clutch slipped real bad when you over revved the engine. That would be a good thing if it did, the clutch is much cheaper than the engine damage that could have happened.

It could be just glazed and slipping or it could be toasted. Drive it a day or two or maybe a week and see how it feels. If it still doesn't feel right, try taking off real fast and see if it slips. If it does slip when you take off fast it's done for. Another way to test it would be to get it into 4th or 5th gear at about 1500 rpms and floor it. If the rpms race up but the car doesn't speed up or doesn't speed up to match the rpms, you need a clutch.

The only thing I can think of to check would be clutch fluid level.
