Spark plug problem

I think i have a big problem... I was changing my spark plugs at night a few days ago, one of the trailing plug would not go in... I put the new one in and it didn't go in straight, then i pull it out and tried again, but now it won't go in at all...

Can someone please help me?

u probably put the spark plug in crossthreaded. just get a new one and make sure it goes in straight and tightens up ok.

Take it to a shop and let them recut the threads in the housing. don't make it worse by screwing in a fresh plug.

Before driving the car....get a oil squirt can and take one of the other plugs out from that same housing and put 3 to 4 squirts in there to help gather the small peices of aluminum that might have went in there...dont want to scar the housings up, thats forsure!
