I made a brown ale yesterday and I just realized I forgot to crush the steeping grains. What negative will this have on my beer?
 
not too bad. You probably didn't extract as much color or flavor components as you could have. Steeping grains are pretty much like making grain tea. Since you aren't mashing, you don't extract any fermentables from steeping grains.
