Hello,

Are you getting a "wet detection" message? If yes, remove any case if you have one, and let everything dry out. Then see this:

About splash, water, and dust resistance of iPhone 7 and later 

Water and other liquid damage to iPhone or iPod isn't covered by warranty 

Otherwise see this:

If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch won‘t charge

Good luck.
