My first attempt at growing sweetcorn has resulted in cobs that are very
short and squat (although quite fat). Some of the cobs seem to be ready to
harvest because the silks have turned brown and the juice is milky. Why are
the cobs small? What have I done wrong?

May be the variety is like that or else they've not had enough water?

I should think it's the variety.

What did the picture on the seed packet look like?
