Bad news: you may have damaged the battery. It shorted out across the charge port, and didn't catch fire, so some protection mechanism saved you! But it may be a destroyed BMS, or it may be an internal fuse in the battery.

Good news: second hand same bikes go for £200 or so. Maybe buy a second bike for spares. Likely to be cheaper than a new battery, and safer than fiddling with a damaged one.

If you are confident and competent, then remove the battery from the bike as next step. But don't take risks if you don't know what you're doing.

Thanks so not worth fixing really is any of the parts salvageable if it's worst case scenario could I use the motor and pedal sensor etc on another bike and get a new battery sorry if it's a daft question

I don't know the detail of that model, but in most cases the motor will be reusable. Add controller and display, always buy as a pair for compatibility, and usually on here KT is recommended.

But it looks like your battery is inside the frame, so a replacement will either need mounting elsewhere, or you need a like for like replacement, which a second bike might give you. A second identical bike might be cheaper than a new generic battery and control system.

It should be easy to fix by anyone, who knows electrical stuff. Where do you live?

can you show photos of the damage?
