You have to do a WP_Query to get posts using a meta query, if you are just looking to see if any if it is checked anywhere then you could limit the query to return one ID

$args = array(
  'post_type' => 'your post type',
  'post_status' => 'pubish',
  'posts_per_page' => 1,
  'fields' => 'ids',
  'no_found_rows' => true,
  'meta_query' => array(
    array(
      'key' => 'checkbox field name',
      'value' => '"'.$field_value_to_find.'"',
      'compare' => 'LIKE'
    )
  ),
)
$my_query = new WP_Qeury($args);
if (!empty($my_query->posts)) {
  // there is a post with this value checked
}
