Will oil drain from oil filter hole if you can't get drain plug off?

No, removing the oil filter will only remove what oil is trapped in the oil filter. If you cannot get the drain plug off then you will have to insert a tube down the dipstick tube and pump the oil out. My advice it to take the vehicle to a trusted mechanic and have them remove the drain plug. It can be removed with the proper tools.
