Was the fondant rolled too thick? Can you post a picture so we can get a better idea of what happened?

I would take off the fondant, throw that away or clean it up as best as you can and re-roll it out. This time, make it thinner. Like the PP said, it could be because it was too thick and heavy, and therefore gravity took over. Don't make it too thin, because when you are smoothing it on, it can rip also. You have to find that happy medium, which is usually about 1/8" thick.
