get the oil at the proper level, clean out the air filter, (replace if
it's a paper one and oily) Then replace the spark plug, (sounds like it
fouled) and then just run it. It'll be fine.

Unless the problem was as others noted (and probably most likely) the
reason for the high apparent oil level as that the carb poured raw gas
down the intake. If that's the case, while the above are needed, they
won't help until the carb is cleaned/problem fixed.
