Never use copper grease in combination with steel and aluminium. The metals will weld together trough the heat.

The oil is because of a faulty valve cover gasket. Also you should have removed the oil from the plug well before installing the new plugs. The white crud is emulsified oil. Get your head gasket tested

Twist them side to side by a couple mm when unplugged a pull up, you'll hear a massive pop

You got leaking valve cover gasket that's why your plugs are oil wet
