A goldfish will probably die in soapy water, unless you change the water really really fast completely with nice, clean, no-chlorine drinkable water. All the harmful stuff in it will kill the goldfish!

There are constituents of certain soaps that could be harmful or fatal to a goldfish. Detergent would be far more dangerous, however, than soap.
