idk if i should even bother though trying to take anything out though, i rather go to a shop and get it all flushed professionally
Take as much as you can out. It's oil and floats. No damage has been done since you didn't start it.
EVEN if you did, I can't see it doing that much "damage". Radiator fluid in your oil is 1000000 times worse



I WOULD suggest you draining and refilling it yourself, but let's not take that risk.

Push the car out?

If it was my car, this is my plan of attack.
Turkey baster idea.
Drain the radiator
Flush it with a hose
Drain radiator
Fill radiator with water and a bit of dish soap
Run car with radiator cap off.
Drain, refill with water
Run car with radiator cap off.
Drain, refill with water
Run car with radiator cap off
Fill car with radiator fluid. Drive like normal
