Okay so I completely lost control

I'm 5'5 130 pounds and 18 years old. I ate 2490 calories already. If your wondering, I'm trying to maintain my weight.

What fitness would you recommend to burn the excess 800/900 calories? My stomach is still recovering a little from so much food, but I think in an hour or two I can start doing to try and lessen the blow.

    If you are trying to maintain then you do not need to burn off 800/900 calories. You probably aren't too far over your maintenance, if at all, at 2490.
    Even if you are over, one day of being over isnt' going to hurt you.

    You can google your BMR. Once you find a site with them, you can find all kinds of other cool calculators but the BMR will help you figure out things.

    Every site is an estimate. They are meant to be a starting point. The only true way to find your maintenance is to start with one of those numbers, log accurately and monitor your weight of a period of time (several weeks).
    Most sites will give you similar numbers.

    I'm the same height as you and older (which means I need less). Even with little exericse you should be close to 2000 calories for maintenance.

    BMR isn't maintenance

    Without knowing what your maintenance is ... it's one freaking day ... it won't make or break you. Log it, do better tomorrow.
