Default 2011 tC won't start..

So last week my battery light came on and I went to O'Reillys to get a battery test done. Turns out my battery was fine it was just a low charge because my alternator was failing. So I installed a new alternator but during the process I forgot to remove the negative lead to the battery
and the battery wire from the alternator hit a metal bracket and arced. Now my car won't start I checked if all the wires and everything was installed properly from the alternator and battery and everything is fine. I even checked some of the starter fuses and they looked good too.
The engine won't even turn over or anything and my check engine light is on..

Have you considered taking it to a mechanic with a code reader? Shorting the electrical system might cause more than one problem.
