I accidentally released the Wii Remote while swinging in a
bowling game and it hit the wall.

After a thorough check it still seems to be working as it used
to, but when I shake it I can hear something moving inside.

What could the broken part be?

Got a hammer?

If it's sound small, it may just be a part of the plastic housing. If
not it may be a component used for stability or RF isolation. Unless it
is easy to take apart, just leave it be and ignore the rattle.

My 2 cents worth anyways.

My kids have a Wii, and they got some kind of wrist strap free through the
mail from Nintendo (I guess this throwing of the remote is a more common
problem than one would think!)

You might look on the Nintendo website for more information, assuming it
still continues to work after you open it up.
