These are irregular verbs but the American use is an attempt to regularize them by adding the regular suffix 'ed'. In their normal form they are irregular and end 'nt', so technically the original British irregular use is correct.
Simply though, if you're in America (or Canada?) use 'spilled', if you are anywhere else, especially Europe, use 'spilt'.
