I thought when I turned off the ac the moisture would disappear and I could fix the moisture damage. I was wrong, now that I have the heater on the leak is worse. what should I do? not afraid of hard work

The moisture is coming from heated air rising into the duct work in the attic. Cooling down, and then moisture condensing. Put a piece of cardboard, or something to stop air flow in the winter. This is guessing that your A/C is in the attic. And your heating system is in the basement.
