しまった and しまいました are the same.
It's just polite-level-differences.
しまった casual
しまいました polite
書類にコーヒーをこぼしてしまった。Sounds like you are saying yourself, like writing a tweet or diary.
書類にコーヒーをこぼしてしまいました。Sounds like you are mentioning your mistake to someone.
both いけない and いけません sound a bit an-order-ish.
書類にコーヒーをこぼしてはいけません sounds like you are telling someone about an office rule.
書類にコーヒーをこぼしてはいけない sounds like a wise man is telling a universal rule.

“しまいました” is a polite expression of “しまった”. “いけません” is also politer than ”いけない”. This thought is not in English, so it’s difficult to give an example.

@n_nano Wow! that's quick! ily!!!
I see~ so both of the word have the same meaning but politer...
"しまった" and "ました" is a past tense right?
So does that means "ない" and
"ません" is a negative tense?

@2ahraa
Yes, you right!
And more, “しまった” and “しまいました” has something a feeling of regret.
