Indoor Houseplant Mold

I recently repotted a peace lily; however, I only added new soil without removing the soil it was currently in. It is placed in a sliding glass window on the east side of the house with plenty of light and next to a heating vent for air circulation. It now has a bad case of mold and our home is infested with gnats. How do I get rid of the mold and gnats? Please help me, as I have a very green thumb and have NEVER experienced this and am quit frustrated.
