Yikes!! Your suppose to clean the sand first. I'd turn the light off and forget about it for a couple days. If it's in a spot in the house you have to see it then throw a blanket over it.

That cloudy I would hold off on re adding fish till its cleared up. That's course particles that would be filtering through their gills

They should be fine if the water tests fine, but I'd still wait a few hours before adding them. I would throw every filter I have on it with some filter floss to quickly clear it up. Do small water changes at a time and only replace the water. Try not to disturb the sand or it may make it worse. Let it settle to the bottom and deal with it in small portions. Otherwise it will stay cloudy longer

Clearifyer isn't going to do a thing to the sand dust.

Next time, lay a bowl on the sand bed and pour the water into the bowl. Distributes the water more evenly and doesn't mix it into the water column that's just agitated sand from water being poured in to quickly based on the look and the speed at which it's settling

I empty it again and re added water then the treatment lol it was a little to cloudy so to speed the process I did it lol
