you put it on too thick.

clean it off with white spirit before it gets even more tacky.
 
Thank you.
When I clean it off should I put another coat on because I want it darker.
Allso do I need to put a varnish over it or will it just dry completely.?
 
As said, you put to much oil on.
Unless the oil is coloured it wont make the wood much darker.
The way I apply Danish oil & I do it twice a year to my worktops, If there is no heavy staining I use wire wool all over, clean off with white spirit, let it dry, poor oil sparingly, use a lint free clothe (you can get these cheaply on Ebay) & spread the oil over the surface, after 10 mins wipe again, there should be no puddles, allow to dry (5hrs) & repeat, do this as many times as you want to.
This is the sort of job that puts the kitchen a little out of action, so timing is important.

Just to verify, you don't/cant varnish Danish oil, but will need to redo it as per Diyisfuns instructions every few months to keep the water out of the worktop.
 
If you want it darker, you need to use Colron or similar wood dye on before the oil.

It is possible to rub dye on before you re-oil it next time, I have done it on external timber where I use linseed oil, but that was after sanding and cleaning it with white spirit.

OP has not mentioned worktop , could be doors or other .

Anything to increase a post count.
As I got a thanks, I reckon it was worktop, maybe if you were the first to reply, it would have been a valid point. No harm done.
