I tried to encrypt the dynamic disk (vdi) with VirtualBox's disk encryption, and I didn't realize that it'd fill up the entire space on the host. The encryption resulted in an error because the host ran out of disk space. To shrink it back to normal, I wanted to go into the guest and write zeros then use VBoxManage, but I can't even boot up the guest now because of "No bootable medium". Does this mean the vdi is permanently damaged?

The vdi is either permanently damaged or it's too unreliable to be used anymore, so your best option is to delete the existing vdi, start over create a new vdi.
