Drain the oil & change the oil filter as the other guy said, there’s hope stil but be carefull next time.

drain it asap,

there should be no damage done, even if you ran the engine

but once you add the oil and run the engine for about 10 minutes, check the oil (the dipstick and the oil cap) if its a yellow/white cream color then there is still water in there

in which case you'll have to drain it again and add new oil, i doubt this will happen but you want to be sure because water will start to rust your cams/pistons/lifters and you do not want that to happen

If you haven't started the engine yet,just drain the oil and put in fresh oil,there's no need to change oil filter because oil hasn't traveled through filter yet.If you have started the engine,drain the oil,replace the oil filter and add fresh oil.No harm has been done yet

Not yet drain it out and put a new oil filter and oil
