Generally speaking, the crust of the earth is a solid. Yes, there are oceans on the earth. Heck, they cover much of the surface. But the crust extends down well below the bottom of the ocean. Earth's crust is up to 70 kilometers deep, which is over 40 miles. The deepest the ocean gets is roughly 7 miles. A link is provided to the Wikipedia article on the earth's structure.
