This is because your iPhone has detected Liquid/moisture inside. Was your iPhone exposed to water or another type of liquid recently? Review the instructions in this guide published by Apple 👉 If you see a liquid-detection alert on your iPhone - Apple Support

Stop charging! Check whether there is water either in the charging port or whether the lightning plug is wet. If your iPhone has been exposed to water, then this may also be why you are seeing this warning. Be sure not to connect your iPhone to power until you have determined whether it has been exposed to liquid. You may risk short-circuiting it.
