Brewed up a two hearted about a month ago and had an issue with it stopping at 1.020. Tried all kinds of things to get things going again swirling, warming up to 70 and lastly I pitched a pack of us 05. Stayed at 1.020 for a week and a half so I figured screw it and I bottled it up. Anyway I cracked one today and it was fully carbed at six days in the bottled. I proceeded to move the rest to the refrigerator to slow things down.
Did I just bottle a batch of bombs?
 
Likely no,if the new yeast did nothing to it. You must've had a high OG to get an FG like that. My Burton ale started at OG1.065,& finished at 1.018. So you're likely fine.
 
No, Adding the fresh yeast just made it carbonate quickly. It is very unlikely that the priming sugar got the yeast working on the residual sugars.
