Coolant was accidentally put in the oil. I have drained as much as the oil as I can. How can make sure I got all the coolant out?

Good morning.

Oil will settle to the bottom of the pan if left overnight.

Let it sit overnight and then drain the oil again. If there is any coolant left it will come out first before the oil.

Run the engine for about 500 miles and then change it again.

Then you should be good.
