Beginners • Testing my GPIO pins on Raspi5

OK as much as I don't want to post this because its very new but.....
I have been plying around with building small projects kits I bought. I'm not sure anything is wrong but I did short out between 3v/grnd and since I'm an electrician and a electronics Noob Hobbyist know that's a bad thing.
I looked up how to test the GPIO Pins and finally found something that seems to work but I'm getting a error and the test just stops instead of checking all the pins.

Code:

 sudo apt install python3-gpiozero sudo pintest
After installing and running I get this ....

Code:

Proceed with test? [y/N] yTesting GPIO19...okTesting GPIO24...okTesting GPIO21...okTesting GPIO4...okpintest: error: 'GPIO busy'Testing GPIO8...Krampapas@pi5max 
Edit: So after some more testing trying to get it to test other Pins It always ends prematurely at the above Pin *pintest: error: 'GPIO busy'*
I tried editing the sequence but apparently am doing it wrong although it has tested more then half without issue but the error above is always where it stops.

it stops so I'm not sure about any other pins. How can I continue to check the rest of the pins and is this error a bad thing? I have nothing attached to the Pins for testing purposes.
Very Much appreciate the advice and your time.
Thank you
Krampapas
