Shakespeare wrote in Modern English so it should come as no surprise that "muddy" meant "muddy". When Gertrude says, in Hamlet, "Her garments, heavy with their drink, pulled the poor wretch from her melodious lay to muddy death", she means just what she says: Ophelia was pulled under the surface of the stream by her waterlogged clothes and died in the mud at the bottom. When Claudius, earlier in the same play, says "the people muddied, thick and unwholesome in their thoughts and whispers for good Polonius's death" he is using the word figuratively. Instead of being clear in their thinking about what is going on in the kingdom, the people are unclear and opaque, like mud.
There is no such language as "Shakespeare language". Although he used some words we would not recognize (he used words the audiences of his own time would not recognize), some words have changed a bit in meaning over time, and there are always new slang terms coming up, Shakespeare wrote in English and is as easy to understand as an English speaker from today who comes from another part of the world--maybe easier. (Picture someone from Australia, someone from Scotland, someone from Trinidad and someone from New York City trying to communicate). Your first thought about the meaning of a word in Shakespeare is that it is probably just what you think it is. Once you get that clear, your understanding of Shakespeare should be less muddy.

Oft is not a shortened word. Often is a lengthened word. The original word is oft and the form often did not appear until about a century before Shakespeare's day. They are, of course, the same word and mean the same thing.
William Shakespeare sometimes uses the word gi in his plays. This word has the same meaning as the word give.
