I've never dosed sugar but it sounds like you overdosed the tank because when you start carbon dosing your supposed to start small and work up to a max dose and if I were you I would be doing a water change to get it out of there because you can kill everything in your tank

Bacterial bloom from too much carbon. Watch for a decrease in 02, and decline in water quality when the bacteria begin to die off. This type of bacterial bloom can wipe out a tank.

Watch, test for ammonia and do a water change if the water clarity declines further. You can add some supplemental o2, air pump with air stone.

Logically it makes sense that it's a bacterial bloom, you added carbon yesterday and today you see cloudy water.

Have you added sugar before?

A little dramatic, but an interesting links on the subject.
