I ran through a mud pit, water I think went up over half the engine and stalled. I tried to kick start it and it didn't sound to good, as if the engine was having trouble turning over. Then i noticrd water in the oil. took it home and drained it. What can I do to make sure there is no trash left behind?

Sounds like you sucked water into the engine. Not good!
You're going to have to flush the transmission and crankcase. I've had to do this before. My suggestion is to use kerosene. The problem is if you let it sit for any length of time, before flushing, the main and rod bearings can get pitted. If the water was dirty chances are the grit made its way into the bearings also. If you do get it running, you might experience a catastrophic bottom-end failure very soon.
In the future, if you drown your bike, do the following:
Turn off the gas and remove the float bowl plug to drain the carburetor. Remove the air filter, wring out any water and put it some place to dry. Remove the spark plug. Turn the bike upside down and put it in the highest gear. Rotate the rear tire in the running direction. This will pump out any water that has entered the crankcase. When all the water is out of the crankcase, flip the bike back over. Install a new, dry, sparkplug. As a last resort dry off the old plug. Turn the gas back on and drain a small amount out of the carburetor. Turn the gas off and put the plug back in the float bowl. Shake off the air filter and reinstall it. Turn the gas back on and try to start the bike. If it doesn't start after 10 kicks or only runs a short period before dying, remove the spark plug. Chances are some residual moisture is grounding the spark plug. Replace it or dry it off, reinstall the sparkplug and try starting the engine again. If it starts, get the bike home and flush the transmission. If it doesn't start or refuses to keep running, get the bike home and flush the crankcase and transmission.

After you flush the crankcase like "beepittwice's" suggested, you'll know when it is clean of any water, when the final flush doesn't look like chocolate milk.
Drain the carb.
Clean the air box & air cleaner.
Clean the cyl of water - turn off the petcock and drain the carb again. Remove the sparkplug, put the bike in gear and push start it until no water sprays out of the plug hole.
After one ride, change the crankcase oil again.

You are going to want to fill and flush with fresh oil at least 4 or 5 times fill it up as much as it will hold but do not start it kick it over real slow to get the clean oil all over in there then flush do this 4 or 5 times and then refill to proper level and fire it..

If you can pull the 2 stroke oil tank and rinse it out with gas, Let it dry for some time before you reinstall it to make sure there is no gas in it, You may want to add some oil to the gas tank in-case the oil pump loses its prime, You don't want to seize the motor.

There's water in your airbox and carburetor. try cleaning it up. serviced your caburetor and clean your air box. try to start. if engine dont sound good... try start the engine and leave it running for longtime.. dont rev it too much... change the oil twice... make it a cheap one.
