You need to open up the laptop and sit it somewhere to dry, for a while. Depending on the amount of the spill from a day to multiple days. Yes I said days.
Once it is all dry, if it was anything other than straight clear water, you need to go in and remove any residue left by the liquid. Carefully. Once you have removed it all, then again leave it to dry for a day or more if there was a lot.
Once everything is all dry and clean, then try using the laptop again. If you still have key problems, then I would go back in and make sure you didn't leave any residue or moisture in the keyboard. If there is none, and it still won't work, then try connecting an external keyboard and see if it works fine. If so, then your attached keyboard may well be damaged and need replacing. However, if the external keyboard also has problems, then you may have damaged the motherboard.
