I unintentionally overclocked my mobile 4060 8GB with Afterburner. I thought that I was overclocking the CPU and I increased the frequency of its cores by 600 megahertz and my PC crashed. I did this a second time because I didn't know that I caused a problem. I thought that it was just restarting to apply that kind of a change but I was wrong. Is what I did enough to cause GPU damage if my PC froze and crashed(did the protective measure)?

No, it did that to protect itself
Make sure you reset msi afterburner to factory settings
Also, as you have a laptop you should undervolt the gpu

What if I got "your PC ran into a problem" the second time I did it?

That would be normal if you’re over clocking the gpu past what it can handle

Does it mean damage though?
Probably not
It won’t let itself go the point of damaging itself, which is why you get the blue screen
It forcefully shuts itself down and gives a blue screen before reaching that point to let you know you did something wrong
All you have to do is reset msi afterburner to factory settings
And to make the gpu live longer, undervolt it
This won’t lose you any performance. In fact, it might give you better performance
