take it to a pro. If you start guessing and fix something it so it turns on but still might have weak components inside, then it could experience some critical failure later on. In my experience during floods I can tell if water got into the engine. a dead giveaway is water in the intake. if not then drain the oil. if there is water in the oil then yes you got water in there and should be flushed with new oil. the reason its not turning over (and I will put money on that) is that the starter motor is in the lowest part of the motor and a slight brush of water will fry it. the car will continue to turn on for a few more days but then it will just quit on you. every time i get standing water under my car the starter fails. get it checked out by a mechanic.
