Letting it run (idle) for 5 min, may not warm the motor /oil , and may not be good for it, your not putting any load on the motor. I would go ahead and change the oil at this point ,but then ride it around the block a few times ( if it dies for any reason you can push it back home),leaving the choke on as needed (until you can push it in ). You won't know if the fuel flow /carb needs attention/ clutch slips /brakes works / etc. until you actually Ride it! I wouldn't change the plug at this time ,the sparkplug in it now is working , and a new plug won't change anything . I'd save the new plug until your sure the carb /petcock is working correctly. If the fuel flow from the petcock is slow you'll know when you ride the bike as it will limit your speed or the bike will die /or falter as you try opening the throttle more. You could at that point check the tank for rust, pull the petcock and clean the filter screen, or clean the the carb. ( if you need to clean the carb ,come back to us and we can walk you through it , there are some do's and don'ts you'll need to know so you don't damage it.)
