Unfortunately in this cases all you can do is wait and see what happens as the rock may cause impaction or may be expelled with feces, coughed it up. There is nothing that can be done at this stage unfortunately. Goldfish eat literally everything so it would be best to use river rocks for aquariums or larger gravel or turtle gravel.
