Good afternoon braydonfromcrestmead,
Congratulations on the purchase of your new iPhone X!
I understand you have been trying to set up your new iPhone X by using the automatic setup feature with your older iPhone. Is this what you are referring to?

If you have another iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 11 or later, you can securely copy many of your settings, preferences, and iCloud Keychain to your new iPhone. Hold your other device near your new iPhone, and wait for automatic setup to begin.

Based on the amount of time that has already passed, I would suggest turning off the iPhone, and setting it up by restoring it from your older iPhone's iCloud backup instead. Make sure your iPhone is fully charged when doing this.
