My drive shaft fell off while driving and the wheels locked up. Could I have broke something by doing this? And can I just put the drive shaft on and expect it to be ok?

Drive shaft they don't fall out for no reason
you need to find out why and fix it

and when you say the wheel locked up you mean that the rear end is frozen and ceased
or the truck just stopped and still can turn the rear wheel s?

Put it back together and it all should be OK
check the shaft if bent or damaged
