How much oil are we talking about? Smell the spark plug end. Does it smell like oil or gasoline?

Take a picture of the spark plug tip and post it if you can.

If the black deposit was more dusty than liquid you can just keep an eye on it in the near future.

If the oil was actually wet you may have a broken ring on the piston letting oil enter the combustion chamber (where the spark plug is). If this is the case, you need to get into a shop immediately.
