iPhone X Hi. Not sure how this happened but no touch controls work. If I touch anything on my screen, voice control reads what I have touched. It read off the date on my Home Screen when I touched the date for example. I can’t put in my passcode or anything. I tried Siri but no clue as to how to reset. I tried holding the power button and volume button to turn it off and it called 911! Ugh. Help! Using my IPad now but need my phone!

If Siri is responding, say "Hey Siri, turn off Voice Over". That is the name of the command. As a secondary option, you can triple click the side button (power button) really quickly and if enabled, the Accessibility shortcut should disable it.
Otherwise there is a longer way to turn it off. Voice Over is designed for those that are vision impaired. As you have already pointed out, if you select something, it reads out the item. If you double tap the screen it activates the selection. So in theory, it tap to select, double tap to activate the selection. You can use this method to gain access to the device and disable it through settings.
