Hold the volume up and the side button together and you should see the slide to power off screen. If that does not happen, then try a force restart. To accomplish that on the iPhone X, press and release the volume up, then press and release the volume down, then press and hold the side button until you see the Apple logo and then release.

Fact is the activation servers at Apple are overwhelmed by the amount of devices attempting to activate right now. They ask that you be patient and wait a little while and try again.
Just keep trying. I had same problem setting up my iPhone X. I had to start over a couple of times. It stalled at entering verification code, setting up iCloud and I even got err message the ID/password was incorrect.
My iphone x has been stuck in setting up my Apple ID mode for hours. Is there a way to power off my phone and starat over?
