I made this cake last night and everything looked fine, but this morning all the fondant had water running out of it! What happened? I didn't use my typical buttercream, I used a cream cheese based icing. Does that not work with fondant?

SOME cream cheese based icing will do that. As a temp fix, use a paper towel to blot up the oil. In the future consider using a different recipe.
Perhaps:
1 Stick butter
1/2 Cup Shortening
8 oz softened Cream Cheese
2 lbs Powdered Sugar
1 tsp vanilla
Cream butter, shortening, and cream cheese till smooth. Add in powdered sugar and vanilla mix until smooth. This recipe will crust.
Yes, most probably the cream cheese.
I used it on my first ever decorated cake (Farmyard), and my fondant got really wet and practically just dropped off the cake. So I tossed out the fondant and finished the cake with the cream cheese frosting.
I put the animals on just before serving.
