Car will crank over and wont start but when I put starter fluid in it. It starts. Found oil in spark plugs. Was wondering wat it might be.

The valve cover gasket is probably leaking onto the plugs, should replace it with the spark plugs tube seals or it will create a future misfire problem.

Check the fuel pressure for now, sounds like your fuel pump may have seen it's last days. If the pressure is 0, then check for power to the pump.
