I'd drain all the oil out, and change the filter.
Then add new oil, (to at least just above the add mark on the dipstick) and run it up to temp with an oil flush added as well. Then drain the oil and and whack on a new filter. Refill with new oil. That should get rid of 99% of the water.

Jesus wept.......
After the second oil change, run it up to temp again, and check the state of the oil on the dipstick. If it's still milky, repeat process.
