Shouldn't the planet continue rotating from the (said) collision?
So that the axis would continue to move, causing the planet to rotate in two directions and move from being "right-side-up" to "upside-down" and back?

That’s a really good question. The answer is a little complicated, but the short (and very simplified) version is the planet’s rotation causes a gyroscopic effect that eventually stabilizes the axis of rotation.
