I went tubing on a river, my phone got wet. Everything works besides the fact my screen is extremely dim and does not change regardless of how high I have the brightness set. I wanted to ask if I got the screen fixed would that be enough or is it something deeper inside the phone I need to get fixed?

I would not trust any electrical device that had water get inside it.
I also would not just replace the screen.
Once water has gotten in, it dries and leaves behind residue and corrosion starts.
The best option is an out of warranty whole unit replacement.

Nobody here can tell without inspecting the iPhone. Start here.
iPhone Repair - Official Apple Support
Your iPhone is likely catastrophically damaged. But again, we cannot know for sure.
Water and other liquid damage to iPhone or iPod isn't covered by warranty - Apple Support
Depends on what exactly happened. I suppose there’s a chance that only the screen assembly had any internal contact with water.
Every iPhone has liquid contact indicators on the logic board. If none of them show contact with water, you could be OK. If any are showing liquid contact, Apple will only offer a full replacement regardless of whether or not everything else works.
The way to find out is to have it evaluated at an Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider.
Apple won’t fix the screen. Liquid damage is not repairable and requires complete replacement of the device.
How do I got about that?

Just as I described in my “Start here” link.
