Does that mean I was denied?

No.

So... If I were to NOT get another medical after my current medical
expires, could I then just switch to sport pilot and never worry about it
again? Or, since mine was sent to OKC for approval, am I now screwed for
transitioning in the future?

You can fly as a sport pilot if you never get another medical.
