Hello,

the umbilicus is prone to infection due to anatomic reasons - sometimes it's a closed space that may hold dirt, etc and favors bacterial growth. The fluid you've seen needs to be drained and perhaps you should also take an antibiotic. I suggest a visits to a surgeon who will evaluate your umbilicus and perhaps through a minor incision will drain the fluid.
This is not a very difficult situation unless you let it get worse.

I hope you find my answer helpful!
