You put too much oil in. At most, the take 8 qrts. Best to put 7 in and then fill appropriately with the 8th.

But don't despair, you can remove the oil filter canister and dump the oil in it, which will knock approx. .4 of a quart out of the total. You'll need to start your car after replacing the canister and repeat the process at least once more, but probably twice.
