It sounds like the keys were shorted out or the ribbon could have came loose.

I suggest re-seating or possibly replacing the keyboard.

Here is the instructions to do so. HP Chromebook 14-Q010DX Keyboard and Touchpad Replacement

9 times out of 10 it is the ribbon that has come loose. 9 screws on the bottom 4 of which are behind the rear gummies.. (foot pegs) I don't know why, but HP decided to put the tape on the ribbon cable to tight and it pulls out very easily.
