Filevault and not working keboard on macbook air after water spill

A glass of water accidentally spilled onto my macbook air‘s keyboard. I turned it upside down right away and let it shut off for two days now. Feeling tempted after two days, I turn it on but somehow all keys on keyboard doesn’t work at all. There is a command suddenly appearing to recover my password using different keyboard because the built—in keyboard is not enabled on filevault mode to reboot the system. My question is, Did I have just ruin my keyboard and it wouldn’t longer work? I am worried because all stores are closed in holiday and I have lots of assignments to finish in uni. Thanks in advance.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.1

Liquid damage is pervasive and progressive. Even after ‘drying out’ corrosion will ruin components days or weeks later. Your Mac need Mac service ASAP.
