Default just cut part of my lawn too short

off all the green blades and am left with a lot of brown patches.
Please tell me that I didn't just kill the lawn. Should I water it to
stimulate growth or will it regrow on its own?


I all depends on how much you value the grass. The ability to regrow is
inversely proportional to the value placed upon it in its present
location. Example: grass which has begun growing voluntarily in the
middle of your garden or beds is completely unkillable short of nuclear
strike but the expensive turf that you paid a fortune to put in and take
care of can be killed by a dirty look. g

Making sure that it has sufficient water certainly can't hurt.
