Iphone 8 has been in water but can still see colors on the screen, and vibrates when I get a new notification. HELP!

The screen on my iphone 8 has been replaced once and did not have sealant added with it, so that could be why it got damaged. My iphone got rained on, and when I checked it, and turned on just fine, I still had the phone on, when the screen went black. When I turned it back on it just had colored streaks running down the phone. That night I opened the phone up and sure enough there was water inside. So I put it in rice hoping it would try over night. The next morning I checked it, inside and out, and everything, was dry, but this time nothing would turn on, it was just a black screen. So I decided to charge it for a couple hours. First I used a wireless charger. When I set it on the wireless charger it vibrated, but nothing popped up on the screen, it was just black. A few hours later while letting it charge wireless, I decided to use wired. Same thing happened. Vibrated, but still a black screen. Hours later, I decided to use the volume, and power reset (dont know what it is called). All of a sudden their was a grey screen with a blue, and black line running down the middle. Then it changed to a black screen with red streaks throughout, but still cant control the phone. Can someone please tell me what part of the phone is internally damaged, and what should I do?

It got damaged because it is not and never was waterproof. It's toast.

IF the screen was originally replaced by Apple then take it to Apple and get an out of warranty replacement phone.

If it was replaced by someone else, recycle it and buy a new phone. Apple doesn't sell iPhone parts.
