Your XS Max, still running the prehistoric iOS 12, cannot be updated wirelessly.

If you don't have a computer nor Internet access, borrow one from your relatives/friends/neighbors, or

ask for help at an Apple Store or Authorized Service Provider among this list (select your country):--> https://locate.apple.com/choose-country-region , then learn how to update your device manually if you're using a Mac with macOS Catalina or later, or if you're using a Mac with macOS Mojave or earlier or a Windows PC.
