Hello, this is Jeff. Did all the other lights come on when the Check Engine Light came on? And was that Check Engine Light flashing when it was sputtering?
This sounds like you may have more than one issue but we need to start with the misfire code that you have. Two things to start with are replacing that spark plug and checking the fuel pressure.
Here are a couple guides that will help with this:

Below is a chart that will help with identifying issues with spark plugs and the process for this cylinder 3 misfire.
However, the sputtering points more to a fuel issue only because you don't have multiple cylinders with misfires. A single cylinder will cause a vibration and slightly less power but if it has considerably less power then that sounds like a fuel issue so we need to eliminate it.
Please let me know what you find. Thanks
