I spilled some coke on my external mechanical keyboard yesterday, and while it seemed to be working fine at first, today the Windows key has stopped functioning. Are there any methods to fix this issue?

First off, sorry to hear about your keyboard! Since it's an external mechanical one, you might be able to clean under the key. Gently pop off the Windows key with a keycap puller or a flat tool. Then, clean the area with some isopropyl alcohol and a cotton swab. Let it dry completely before putting the key back on. If that doesn't work, it might be time to consider replacing the switch underneath, depending on how comfortable you are with DIY repairs.
Yeah, I agree with the cleaning idea. Also, check if the keyboard software or drivers need updating, just in case the issue is software-related. It's unlikely but worth a shot!
