HELP ME PLEASR IM DYING

You will have to take it in for servicing.

Ouch.  Sorry to hear about your accident.

You are not alone and there are several trajectories for you Mac.  There are many threads about spilling liquids on Macs.  There are lots of sad stories and some happy ones.  I searched the communities for similar "Spilled Soda" stories.  I suggest you do that also.

Major suggestions are not to turn it on until it is fixed and to take it to an Apple store ASAP for evaluation and/or repairs.  Apple often quotes the repair costs at not far from the replacement cost so when it is broken this way most people opt to replace the Mac.  Even if you had AppleCare it would not be covered under that warranty. 

There is also advice to check your home owners or renters insurance for coverage.  If you purchased it recently on a credit card that may also give you coverage.

If the Mac is dead and if you don't have a reasonably recent Time Machine backup you can usually recover your data by taking out the existing hard drive (or SSD).  Do not put it in a new Mac;  you do not want to void the warranty.  There are external enclosures that would allow you to use your existing storage as an external drive on a new Mac.  Even if you have a backup you may want to use the existing storage as an external drive.

Here is a thread with a happy ending.  Apple replaced the Mac out of warranty, which they have done for me.  Do not count on that.  This thread also stated how to do a last-ditch effort to clean it with hopes it will rise from the dead.

But how come after the incident it charged and evertything and now it doesnt?

dont turn it on, water / liquids migrate.

Turning it back on is BAD, damage A can lead to B leads to C etc.

Also water migrating around, especially while on, can wreck havoc worse than initial damage.

Nobody here can speculate on damage on something they cannot see.

Having repaired laptops in the past, even IF you got it completely dry, residue from water (iron particles etc), and wet spots under fine contacts is nearly impossible to "dry out", its just doesnt work that way.

Lots of people try to "dry it out", most to learn little was solved in doing same, and sometimes further damage occurred.

Taking it apart, youll just about never "dry out it out" due to the all the hidden spots that will REMAIN wet for some time, even IF you dry to "dry it out"

Make appt. with Apple store fore repair / diagnostic.

dont turn it on again.  Sorry about the spill 

To be honest i last night i fell asleep and i knocked over a cup of sprite on top of my MacBook pro so now i dont know if it works

take it into Apple for diagnosis.

It may work now, chances are it wont work later after the corn syrup coagulates on the circuits and the logic board

In the future please start a new thread when reporting an issue even if it's been posted before, additionally it's not a good idea to resurrect threads that are 4 years old as the answer could change over that time.
