Did you do well? If so, congratulations. You just skipped a hell of a lot of grind.
If you didn’t do well, it looks like your rank will tank into silver and lower pretty fast to balance out that placement.
Either way the situation should be resolved.

XP earned during the matches is taken into account(in addition to winning/losing and other stats) I believe. So losing doesn’t force you into low tier brackets.
Either way it will adjust accordingly if you continue to play ranked.

Played like 5 matches, got Silver 1. Played one more match, Gold 5. The rank system seems pretty lenient when it comes to moving you around between ranks.
