Default Motor damaged?

I run a 2 stroke outboard, yesterday I was cruising across the lake, everything was fine, then my motor got slower and slower until it shut off (about a 5 second process). After I lifted the motor to make sure there wasn’t a rat nest of line or weeds on the prop I tried starting it up again. First couple times it wouldn’t turn over, then it turned over and fired up so I slowly idled about 200yds to where I was going to fish. While I was trolling with the electric motor I opened up my oil tank/battery compartment and noticed my oil tank moved and my oil line was pinched, restricting about 90% of the oil supply.

I moved the oil tank and straightend out the line. I started out cruising at 1/2 throttle, then 3/4 throttle, then wide open, it ran fine after that. Did I luck out and avoid damage or is there something I should look for?
