I am using esxi 6.7 and I had accidentally restored the snapshot.
How can I restore to original state?
I didn't touch vmdk, vswp, vmem any files. I found MyVm-000002.vmdk with date modified today file. Is this original state? If so how can I merge it?
Please help me guys.
Your post is way too vague !
We need to see a complete filelisting and the latest vmware.logs.
If you find out that you accidentaly overwrote for example name-000001.vmdk and name-000001-sesparse.vmdk with the "restore snapshot operation" you MUST immediatly stop all activity on the datastore and create a 3GB vmfs-header dump ASAP.
See my instructions:

When you say "restored the snapshot" do you mean you reverted your VM to a snapshot and that you don't have another snapshot taken just before you did that?
Yes I have just one snapshot, accidentally I restored it. But I didn't want snapshot version, I had been created many configs, codings on original version.
Do you have a second - unaffected datastore to create a Linux helper VM ?
If you answer NO - get one !
Add a SATA disk and create a temporary datastore or use a NFS-datastore.
Download ufs explorer LiveCD and upload it to the second datastore.
Install Teamviewer, WinSCP and Putty on your admin host and call me via skype.
I am in germany and will be available until 23:00 Berlin time.
Did you create the VMFS headerdump I asked for ?
