Will drinking more water will help with acne / oily skin?

Yes: It will help detoxify. But please do not over hydrate either. They recommend an average of 8 - 12 cups per day.

Not much: Acne is a serious, chronic disease that needs to be managed scientifically. 'pop' remedies like 'drinking water to flush out the poisons and keep them from coming out your skin' is prescientific. If topical benzoyl peroxide as tolerated has not cleared you in two weeks, get with your personal physician for prescription-strength rx.
