Having too much oil in engine may cause a damage to the catalyst (if you car got one). It has to be investigated why the oil stick showed more oil than max. Was that due to overfilling (then it's good to drain a certain amount of oil) or is that due to a leakage of the fuel system and fuel entered the oil system? If the latter has happened the viscosity went down and the low viscosity could damage the engine severely.

If you need more help please let me know
Cheers
