    No you have not built significant muscle in 8 days. Muscle gain at a calorie surplus for a teenage male isn't even going to be that significant 8 eight days unless they are on steroids. You may be retaining water because of your increased activity. That will diminish over time. You may not be eating in a significant calorie deficit due to logging errors, or something else. Eight days really isn't enough to know, 3 or better 4 weeks would give a better idea.

    This may help:

    You also might want to take some rest days. Going from sedentary to super active every day is a good way to injure something. :o

    Also muscle is more dense than fat, it doesn't weigh more than fat.
