I think this may be a “Live Wire” situation…I’m not sure how to approach this problem, or if I should call in an electrician…It’s 4 am in the morning.

Water or anything else boiling over onto a stove top rarely does any damage or causes any danger. People do that all the time. The electrical connections aren’t in places where spilled water can easily get at them to cause a problem. If you can lift the top of the stove up for cleaning, do that and wipe up any water you see. If it was just water, I myself would probably just let it evaporate, which it will do all by itself in time, or you can turn all the burners on low for a while. If you’re really worried about getting electrocuted by the stove, though I wouldn’t be, then turn off the breaker that controls the stove, dry up all the water, and turn the breaker on again.
Oh dear.
For now, turn off the electricity to your stove then soak up all the water you can. The breaker should be labeled in your electrical panel. Let it dry a few hours, then talk with an electrician.
Good luck!
i personally would just turn it back on and let it evaporate off. I doubt they made it so if water spilled on your stove it was broken, they should have made the wires water-tight. all electric stoves i have used before it wasn’t a problem.
