So my family owns a business and one of our workers spilled water into our PC. We got a new PC but we need to programs on the other hard drive. We can download the program onto the new PC but we need the data from the program from the old hard drive. All the information on our program is basically our business. How do i move the information?
How do I move a program to from one hard drive to another?

It depends on how the data is stored specifically - ie what the program is.
In a basic sense, you should be able to attach the HDD to the new system (assuming it's not water damaged), find where the data is stored (likely in C/Program Files (x86) and sub-folders accordingly).
I can't stress enough how important it is to learn from this. If the drive/data is essential for your business (ie losing it is catastrophic), make sure you have a regular backup process in place.

What application is this?
You need to discover where and how the actual data is stored. Then, if the old HDD still works, copy that data.
And you really, really, really need to come up with a comprehensive backup plan.
This will involve actual money being spent.
