If one broke his Sunnah Itikaf he will have to make up that day that he broke it only and not the rest and Itikaf becomes a Nafal now. You can do the Qadha during Ramadan or after with a Nafal fast.

Some scholars mention better to do the whole ten days with Nafal fast as a precaution after Ramadan.
