Lights Out After a Socket Sparked?

Lights Out After a Socket SparkedI was unscrewing a light bulb from a socket that has no switch. A plastic piece that connected to another fell off onto the floor. Figuring it was a safety precaution I went to connect it back. I presumably did something wrong and sparks flew knocking out lights on one side of our house. The electrical sockets still work, but the lights won't cut on. I tried flipping the breaker, but it did nothing. What do I do? Below is a picture of what the socket looked like after sparks flew. As you can see the accompanying plastic piece is missing from one side.

Some wiring burned out or now there are breaker issues. If you are not familiar with electricity please call in a qualified electrician.
