Follow this Support Article below. Hopefully you had a backup done on commercial release iOS 18 to restore to, otherwise backups made on Beta software may not be able to be restored.

Follow the steps here:
Apple Beta — Restore Shipping Software
It is possible you will lose all data on your phone, as the beta software is NEVER intended to be installed on your daily device and it is essential to read the Beta FAQ before installing and reviewing all the warnings.
Install the beta software only on non-production devices that are not business critical. We strongly recommend installing on a secondary system or device, or on a secondary partition on your Mac.

See if you can borrow a friends. Otherwise, you can use a Mac at your nearest Apple Store.
You should really take the time to READ the NDA you accepted when you joined the beta, along with the other information that was provided, including instructions for reverting to the shipping release of iOS.
