Can changing default Shell by using "sudo" make unexpected problems later?

I'm a new user of Linux. I installed ZSH and made it my default Shell according to the guide on its GitHub but I used Sudo by mistake. Is it OK? or do I need to undo what I've done and just change it with user permission?

sudo default shell linux

You probably just made it the default shell for root. It won't cause you any issues if that is what you did.

# set default shell for a non-root user:

$ sudo --user <USER> chsh -s /bin/zsh
