Replace the keyboard. They are inexpensive and easy to replace.

Well you said you spilled water on your keyboard, and it was working before. Your lucky water did not get to the motherboard and fry your system. You can order your keyboard here.

Better try running diagnostics first on your system.( Fn + Power) after Pre boot self assessment, wait to boot to utility partition if you have and choose express test or extended test.
