Review the information here about what to do when your phone gets wet, and pay particular attention to wait on charging.

About splash, water, and dust resistance of iPhone 7 and later - Apple Support


Phones have a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI), and you can view the status here:

Power off your iPhone and leave it upright with the port facing down so it can dry out, and give that about 24-48 hours. Hopefully it still works, otherwise If it won’t turn on, the water damage has caused corrosion to all the parts and has stopped functioning. Water damage cannot be repaired and Apple won't even service your iPhone if it has been exposed to water damage, so would most likely look at a replacement.
