Accidently referenced cite this for me.... what do i do?!!

When i write up my references i use 'cite this for me' website which is really helpful, but when i cited a website in my bibliography i forgot to take out the part where it said 'cite this for me' so now when my tutor marks my essay he will know i used this website to cite all my references is this plagarism??? its not copying someones work though...

The only thing that's a problem is that it's an incorrect reference. Other than that, why would anyone care? It's a tool for getting references. It would be like thinking that spellcheck is somehow cheating.
