it'll be fine, it's just the yeast that has settled on the bottom. It will simply drop back down again leaving the beer as clear as it was before

some brews actually need rousing gently with a paddle as the yeast sometimes drops out before it's done it's job.

Maybe just give it an extra day or so, before barreling it, especially if it looks a little cloudy still.
