Hello I was playing atomic and got a checkmate with my queen but it didn’t show checkmate

I was playing atomic and I did a queen checkmate but the time still went on and didn’t say checkmate and my opponent could not move. My opponent realized it was a bug and he resigned

It isn't a checkmate,because your opponent can take a pawn with the knight and blow up your king.

He could play Nxf2# or Nxd2# and explode your king! It was not a bug!

Traditional checkmate applies to atomic as well, but any move that results in blowing up the opposite king will result in an immediate victory, overriding all checks and checkmates.
You got lucky there :)
