I think he earthbend the statue's BASE, which below the metal superstructure has naturally, firm earth/stone.

So basically King Bumi of Omashu did an awesome earthbending, on epic level.

But still not metabending. we also don't know if metalbenders have perfected the art to the point where they can wreck massive pieces of metal such as entire structures. (factories,buildings,ships or metal statues)
