Well my beer had finished fermenting and I decided to cold crash before kegging . I put my glass carboy and a pitcher half full of sanitizer in the fridge with the hose from the carboy going into the pitcher to prevent air from entering the carboy, but the temp change sucked all the sanitizer into my carboy. Is my beer ruined?

Star san and I haven't had time to taste it yet

how full was the pitcher?
You are probably OK if it tastes fine, it takes a lots of Star San to have an affect on 5 gallons of beer.
 
Properly diluted star san will not hurt you. Given that it was further diluted by 5 gallons of beer, you may not even be able to taste it (much). Let your taste buds decide if it's still okay or not.
