I helped a professor draft his letter of recommendation for grad school. Am I screwed?

I feel a bit dishonest for helping him with it, but he asked me to. He’s quite a busy guy and English is also his second language. Anyways I read somewhere that this kind of thing is extremely frowned upon and could even result in having your degree revoked later on if the school finds out. I now don’t even want to go to that school if I get in just to avoid this from happening.... thoughts?

It's actually quite normal (or at least not unheard of) for students to basically "write" their own letters of rec.

If anything, it's a good opportunity for the student to let the professor know which traits they really want to show on their application. The professor may have thoughts of their own, or wording/stories that they want to add, but that's up to them.

At the end of the day, as long as the professor signs off on the letter, there's no issue.

We talk about plagiarism a lot in academia, but letters of rec are probably one of the places plagiarism isn't really possible.
