Check the wires going to the starter like speedy said, you must have knocked something loose.

There is a diode in the electric start system. If it craps, you can bump start you bike but no pusher button. it retails for $7.31 at your dealer. I've seen this numerous times. Bill

Nothing happen to you?
A hard hit like that can wreck a battery. It can have enough grunt to spin the motor, but not have enough left over for ignition.
Have the battery load tested.
