What does '잘했어' mean in Korean?

잘 - well
하다 - to
했어 - did
So literally "(you) did well". More naturally "Good job!"
Yes, the speech level is informal and impolite. This form is called "반말".
You would use it with those younger or of lower status than you.
You could use it when you want to tell someone they did well^^
