Liquid Spill
If you believe you’ve spilled anything (water, soda, trendy energy drink, etc.) on your Apple notebook, shut it down immediately, lest you continue short-circuiting your computer and thus blasting small holes through its components. Just because your computer works for a while after you’ve spilled liquid on it doesn’t mean you’re in the clear. Damage from liquid spills start out small and difficult to diagnose, and then over time spreads to become larger functional issues.
The best thing to do in this case is to take your Mac to an Apple-authorized service center. But if you are feeling handy and are OK with voiding your AppleCare warranty (AppleCare does not cover accidental damage), you can clean your computer yourself. Unplug it, open it up, and disconnect the battery and all connections to the logic board. Then sit the open computer by a fan while gently scrubbing all sections of the logic board with cotton swabs and isopropyl alcohol. Clean both the top and bottom of the logic board if possible, then let the exposed MacBook dry in the path of the fan overnight before piecing everything back together and turning the computer back on. With any luck, the crisis will be over.

Hi there, tgtnm, this is a user to user forum. It would seem that your computer has had an accident and you may have damaged something. Your best best would be to make an appointment with your local Apple place and take it in for repair. AppleCare ( should you have it) does not cover fluid damage like this

Electronics and liquids do not sit well together. If it won't switch on the chances are it needs workshop attention at best and replacement at worst. No-one here can advise you further from the detail you have provided. If you are going to take it in, please do not make continual attempts from now on. Every time you do will probably make things worse.

Take it to an Apple Store for repair.
