Performance will probably be fine... sound might be slightly raspier than normal.

Water is a byproduct of the combustion of gasoline, btw. That's why there was a puddle of water. When the engine is warmed up, all of that water will turn into water vapor... but when the engine is still cool it may stay in liquid form.

should it be fixed by getting it welded or any other way to fix it?

Yea, just patch it with a small piece of metal. You could probably ignore it if you want. I'm a little perfectionistic so I personally would get it fixed.
