Slow down, your world has not ended :)

Getting water in the throttle body is not normally a severe problem. I doubt that ANY water got into the oil. A change is not necessary.

You did get water in the intake. So clean the plugs and start the car again and try to get the engine warm. The water will steam off and all will be well again.

You need a new intake hose, but for right now, cover up the whole thing with duct tape to keep any air from leaking through. I am surprised you didn't get a CEL for the extra air.
