No. You are not looking for an adjective. "Naughty" sort of means "wrong" in a way. Does it help if I change it to this?
I felt a bit naughty because I was __________ on my own and I was leaving the children behind.
Have you looked up the definition of "to go off", the phrasal verb which was used in the original sentence?
