You should unplug it, not try to use it again and if youre technically savvy tear the laptop down and clean it out.
its going to be quite the endeavor if youve never done it before. thankfully there isa teardown guide on iFixit
[guide|106605]
youre going to need the tools listed in the guide plus stuff to clean the computer out. i would say a BUNCH of Q-Tips and 90% rubbing alcohol.
while youre in the computer you should be looking for components that are blown.
take a look here. https://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/98188/identify-and-replace-a-resistor
if you find anything like this it will more than likely need to be changed. so either you can do it by soldering new stuff on or you can send the board out to someone like northridgefix on YT to fix it for you. (for a charge of course)
hopefully you can get it cleaned out and fixed! thankfully if you have anything important on it odds are the Hard drive will be okay.
good luck! i hope this helps!
Side note: if you ever spill something on an electronic again, be sure to power it off ASAP! dont try and leave it on and save files and all that. it should be powered down immediately! that will help minimize the amount of damage done to SMD components. for a laptop as an example. pull the power cord and the battery to cut the power.

One thing that ive heard people doing i taking a flat tub and filling it with warm water that way you can soak the board and get all the juice off. ive used a soft SOFT bristle tooth brush to lightly scrub the bad areas

then you take that same bin, bry it out and fill it enough with isopropyl to cover the board and let it so for a couple hours and after that take it out and use some canned air (being careful around smaller components) and dry the board off with the air. and let it sit for a day to completely dry it out.
