The white king is not attacked by black's queen. Black's queen is on D8, the starting square. The piece on H2 is a rook, so it is not giving check to white's king at all. Furthermore, the rook on H2 is not defended by any other black piece, so even if it were a queen, the white king could simply capture the queen.

It is not game over. Keep playing! And have fun 😄

Stockfish also thinks that this position is completely fine. I hope these icons clear out the doubt on which pieces are which:

And as I said, even if it were a queen, white's king could simply take (in fact that was the best move):
