Well if you look at your embed code you will find the url of the video in the src tag. This url can be vérified with a script using their api (most of them have one), or just compare your files to the RSS feeds of the deleted videos. I would use php I think.

Is there a wp plugin to check youtube videos by any chance?

Thanks

I think there are some, but just some manual scription should be enough... like taking the url of the video, executing it in a curl request and then see it the answer is 200... (status good)
By the way youtube does have an api, here a link to put you in the right direction:

How do I check if a video exists on YouTube, using PHP? - Stack Overflow

Several ways are exposed to do so... then just apply the script on all post_content rown in the wp_post table and if video no exist setting the post_status to pending, draw or I don't know what...
