Is it physically broken, or is it just not working?
A. If Physically Broken, Getting this Serviced:
B. If Not Working:
If not working, well, then that is a whole different story.
Try this: Force restart iPhone - Apple Support
Make an appointment at the nearest Apple Store to have the damage evaluated and your options explained.
The OP posted again in the iPhone Hardware forum and says the button is stuck in, which is what I thought: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/251659337
How will they be able to do a forced restart in the power button (side button) doesn't work?
Again, how would they do a forced restart if the side button doesn't work? You might want to edit that out this time.
"broken" might mean not working. So, don't take it so literally.
That is a silly statement. If it is not working, and it is quite easy for a user to determine that (often the spring fails). It is a literal statement, the user can't make it work when they push it.
Try it out as a method to troubleshoot it - see if it works.
I think they actually should take the good advice that frazzm737 gave them and get it serviced. Have you ever handled an iPhone with a broken side button?
