Potentially, yes.


If you entered a credit card number in an input field, watch that card for (unauthorized) charges.


If you provided a password or other credentials, change the passwords now.


If you provided an email address, more spam to that email address is possible, and potentially also phishing related to whatever scheme this was.


Put differently, yes, websites can acquire text before pressing the submit button, if the website is coded to do that.
