Default bike would not start

I was changeing my oil cuz I drowned my bike. I changed the oil 2 times and after that I went ride for like 15 to 20 minutes I came home cuz it was dark I stoped and left the bike running while I move the cardboard box that I layed down so I dont get oil all over the ground. I got back on the bike I hit the gas and it was sputtering i guess it was also heitating to. I would hit the gas and it would not rev. Than the bike killed. I tried starting it but it wouldent. It would start but it wont idle and it would die if u get off the gas. Than it wouldent start at all. I was trying to start it for 5 min but it wouldent start. Than I took off the cap to my gas tank for some reson and than I closed it. Than I tryed again and the bike started it was running fine. What the hell just happen???? How could I not make this happen again. I thought the bike locked up cuz I sunk it.

Could the vent line to the gas cap be plug up or something????

that would be my guess if taking the gas cap off seemed to fix the problem
