What does the statement 'the buoyant force of a liquid does not depend on physical statebut on density' mean?

Floating, or buoyancy, depends on the density of the liquid and the density of the object. Water is a pretty dense liquid, and things float in it; they are buoyant. Oil or gasoline are less dense; things that float in water may not float in oil.

Does carbonation affect if things will float or not?

Yes, carbonation can affect whether things will float or sink. Carbonation adds bubbles to a liquid, making it less dense. This decrease in density can cause objects that would normally sink in a non-carbonated liquid to float instead.
