Answer
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
It is haraam (forbidden) to take an oath in the name of other than Allah, such as ones mother. Therefore, the oath is not valid. You should do istighfaar and tauba (repentance).
( فتاوى دار العلوم ديوبند: ج 12 ص 37 ط دار الإشاعت )
في الدر المختار: لا يقسم بغير الله تعالى ؛ وفي حاشية ابن عابدين: أي: لا ينعقد القسم بغيره تعالى أي: غير أسمائه وصفاته ولو بطريق الكناية كما مر ، بل يحرم كما في القهستاني ( رد المحتار: ج 5 ص 503 ط دار المعرفة )
And Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
Wassalaamu `alaykum
