Don’t feel stupid please. I had to learn that too just about a year ago. I hadn’t seen them before and thought they were a weed. Then I did some serious study on St Augustine grass because it’s what my new lawn consists of and I’m caring for it myself.
Without seeing your lawn, I’d say you haven’t done any serious damage and you likely don’t need new sod. They will keep coming and spreading as long as it’s treated correctly; watering, fertilizing, proper mowing, weeding, etc.
Keep in mind that those “string of lights” you have pulled up are how this grass grows and thrives.
