LOL k then, u literally have nothing to worry about then its all ok take a deep breath (idek) anyway its all fine, even if u wash the gravel this will happen for a bout 24hrs turn your filter off though just let it settle.

Even though it's plant substrate then Gravel on top. And would it not be better to keep the filter on to get rid of it

yes its all fine and normal when adding (some) substrates it'll be "dirty" for about 24hrs, I wouldn't use my filter or else your going to have to change it extremely often (waste of $)
