Pretty sure discarded items are called jetsam and both are subject to these eddy currents you described and they don't bury them under the ocean floor. Now you expect us to believe the organic stuff, that wants to float, was pushed down thousands of meters during the flood?
Don't even try again.

They wouldn't be rooted once the soil became waterlogged.
Mud would have been so thin it would have been able to trap the buoyant material.

Why would the mud have been thin? Even a landslide can dramatically cover a landscape, let alone a global flood. There's no reason there wouldn't be mass displacement of mud to cover mass amounts of foliage to create oil under the pressure.

Nobody said anything about heat.
Liquefaction (aka fluidization), not melting, has to do with liquid between solid particles that causes them to act like a liquid.
1 year of water, also, a mudslide is one thing but water from the mantle would cause liquefaction, which causes soil to act like a liquid, like quicksand.

Mudslides do that because they are relatively shallow and drag the debri along the surface. If the area above that was filled with water, the mud wouldn't be able to keep the buoyant material from rising to the top and when the waters receded, they would be on the surface or buried at shallow depths, not where oil deposits are found.

Sure some might have been buried but not below bedrock.

Bedrock can be mudstone (i.e. limestone). The mud from the flood lithified and became bedrock all around the world. The organic matter trapped beneath was pressurized into become oil and other components.

Not over the 40 days, with the tides rising relatively slowly, and then however long it took to have the waters recede.
You have not shown how organic matter was going to be trapped thousand of meters below the surface. I mudslide buries things 10-20 meters at most. Let's say 100.
Love Jesus and stop this dumb obsession of thinking you can prove your faith through science, you can't.

It likely lithified after the flood. Especially the superficial layers. Lower layers would be exposed to the pressure from above and may have actually lithified during the flood.
A global flood is exponentially larger than local mudslides, the deposition would also be exponentially larger in various regions.
Love Jesus and stop this dumb obsession with evolution. It is by its own definition a theory that involves no intelligence.
