If you pasted your private key into a website you have given your bitcoins to the people who run that website. It isn't clear what exactly you have done. I suggest you start a new question and paste in all the addresses you used. Do not paste your private key anywhere. Explain exactly which websites you used. Post screenshots of messages you want help with.

> **how long will [Bitcoin core] take to sync?**

How long it takes to sync depends on your computer and your network connection.

It may take a week.

Bitcoin core will give you an estimate - but that assumes the computer is never turned off, never sleeps, hibernates or drops into a low-power mode and never runs other CPU-intensive tasks while core is syncing.

> **is there a way to get the bitcoin out incase**

in case of what?

You can export the private key and then import it into a lightweight (SPV) wallet which will allow you to spend your BTC without needing to download and verify the whole blockchain first.
