Cannot seem to change oil

Long story short -I got stuck this fall with a overheating engine.
Ken was great in shipping me a new water pump whose impeller seized on the shaft. thank you.
It turns out the exhaust elbow was clogged and when i finally got around to checking the oil, I believe it pushed water into the crankcase.
When i try to pull the oil out, it is the consistency of a loose paste.
Obviously it helps a little if I heat the engine up but not much.

Any ideas how to pull this muck out? Any additives I can use?
Thanks All
