Unless you got your fingers numbers confused in your description of what you did, you made it extra difficult for yourself.
First of all, when we become anxious, we always make the sorts of mistakes that we might normally not make. You did an excellent job of finding a way around your complication - the muted speech and locking the iPhone. Two finger triple-tap brings up the item chooser. Your speech will not come back on with this command. Mute and unmute speech is three-finger double-tap. This command actually does work in the lock screen. I am guessing you did the command while VO was off from a triple-tap home command, and that is why it did not work in the lock screen for you. That or, the screen locked again before you used the command. It was most likely that your keyboard sent the speech mute command when you dropped it. I don't know what mute is as I don't have a bluetooth QWERTY keyboard. I use a braille display keyboard.
