Hello, i was cleaning out my moms cpu fan and i thought it would be okay to wash it under very little water. the computer was filled with ash from my step dads smoking and it wouldnt come off so i did this and dryed it and now when i boot up it says cpu fan failure.

Turn the pc on whilst you can see the fan. Is it still spinning?

If not, are you sure you haven't dislodged the power cable which runs from the fan to the motherboard?
