Default Fuel in cylinder 4

My car has been putt putting at low RPM's and then at 4 it will finally drive correctly. I pulled open the spark plug "caps" and found what I think is gas in cylinder 4. I cleaned the engine bay 2 days ago and the engine started acting weird yesterday. Do I just soak up the excess fuel and dry the spark plug? Buy a new spark plug? Please help.

Ok I realized its water, but the car is still put putting. Does the water just need to evaporate?

unplug the spark plug, leave it out overnight to dry things out, preferrably in a garage (humidity outside could compound the problem) and make sure no dust or debris can get in there...if that doesn't work you prolly have a much bigger problem...
