Turn the device off, and leave it off for a while. If it was just a small amount of water, you can try putting the device, powered off, into a sealed bag of uncooked rice for 72 hours. After that, you can try to charge/power the device on to see if that helped. Depending on the amount of water, it can help with minute amounts, but it could have sustained more damage. Make sure you keep a current backup, in case it does show signs of further damage.

BBad idea using a bag of rice, Apple does not recommend it as rice is very dusty and can actually cause more damage.

IF you have AppleCare then you are covered for two cases of accidental damage and can have the phone replaced for a nominal cost.

Interesting, as I've never seen that. Apple actually makes no mention of rice at all, pro or con. but thank you for your observation. You would be surprised at the number of persons that do not have Apple Care Plus as well, especially the ones that come here asking. Most are looking for a method to try and save their device because they don't have Apple Care Plus and/or the money to replace their devices.
