Like grasshopper said you need to dry it out……
This was just clean rainwater and not some ejector/wastewater/graywater problem?
Any cardboard boxes that got wet need to be emptied/discarded and contents checked and dried….
Old “dirty” carpet…..”wet”…..will always smell………
New carpet can be removed/cleaned and padding dried…………
Any drywall affected?………wet drywall and the captured water in the walls and insulation can really stink …….
Carpeting and sump pumps don’t mix…….
