Wipe a broken iphone

I have an iPhone XS which was damaged in the sun and was on airplane mode when the screen went black. (So unable to reset through find my iPhone)I would like to wipe it to trade it in but not sure of any way to do this ?

Also, if it was damaged in the sun is this just the screen or likely to be the whole phone ruined ?

thank you

iPhone XS, iOS 12
