Thats the thing. I didn't took the throttle out . I unplugged the battery and removed the air tube thats it .with my fingers i opened the throttle plate and cleaned it . After that i let it sit for like 3 hours put everything back and started the and the idle alll it does is goes up and down. Maybe theres a relearn procedure?

^Agree, try forcing the car to re-learn by disconnecting the battery for a while. Over time the car has learned that there has been a slight carbon build-up on the TB; now there isn't. The parameters of the ecu are immediately seeing issues because of this. Hopefully the simple reset can fix this. After the reset, give it a week to re-learn.
I don't believe any permanent damage occurred; however drive-by-wire TBs can be temperamental.
Good luck!
