Never move someone hurt in a car crash unless there is absolutely no choice due to fire or sinking. Even if there is fire, the preferable first response is to try and extinguish the fire - moving an injured party is an absolute last resort. You want to limit as much as possible any movement of the neck or back to minimize risk of spinal damage.

The best thing you can do for them is make sure their airway is relatively clear, and that pressure is applied to slow any significant bleeding from wounds. After that, do what you can to keep them calm and still. Try to keep them comfortable without moving them, gently wipe any blood or sweat from their face/head to keep their vision and breathing clear, keep them warm.

Very important, you need to speak to them calmly to reassure them and keep their focus on you, and not the crash that just happned or others involved in the crash with them. The first few minutes after a crash is when a person, even if not badly injured, is most susceptible to going into shock or hysteria. Keeping them calm, warm, comfortable, and reassured can help delay the onset of shock and hysteria while you await the arrival of EMS personnel.

So, it sounds like you did just about everything right.
