Birth control pills work to prevent pregnancy by preventing ovulation. This happens because a daily active pill keep hormone levels constant. Once you stop taking the active pills, hormone levels drop (estrogen or estrogen/progesterone) and you have breakthrough bleeding.
By taking your pills as you did, you caused a surge in hormone levels by taking three pills in one day. I don't see a risk for pregnancy by missing one day.
