Why is it doing this?

Okay so my phone was face down on my table beside some soda & my brothers dog knocked it over and the screen had soda all over it. I cleaned it off but my home button wouldn't work, and it would only stay on the home screen. I tried to turn it off but the power button would only screenshot. I can't access any apps bc it just goes straight back to the home screen. I put it in a bag of rice for two-three hours , so maybe it would dry out. When I got it out & turned it on, it still did the same thing. What do I do? I dont have the money to buy a new one.

It seems that after the spill the home button is constantly sending a signal that the home button is pressed.

First thing to do is get your phone open and assess the liquid damage inside the phone (especially where your home button is). If you notice any corrosion or liquid in the phone I would fully disassemble it clean up all the components with 90%+ isopropyl alcohol and a soft bristle brush(tooth brush). Once the the components are clean and dry reassemble the phone. I would also look into replacing home button.

I left it in rice all night, and the apps are working. The home button will work but it won't let me put in my fingerprint. Is it my digitizer?

Most likely corrosion on the home button, as the digitizer connects to the logic board with a completely different cable. Also, putting the phone in rice is equal to just letting it sit a shelf, the best thing to do is to immediately open your device and displace the liquid with alcohol. At this point I would open up the phone and see where any corrosion may be and replace that component. NOTE if you replace your home button you will not have touch id (finger print).
