Welcome to the forums.
You may have a bad battery. Do you know someone with another phone to swap for a few minutes?

And if you think there's any chance that the phone got wet (is it in any kind of case?) you should shut it off, take the battery out, and stuff it all in a bag of plain rice (uncooked of course) which covers the phone and seal it. Leave it in there for at least 48 hours before reassembling it and trying to turn it on.

Try this:
1. Turn off phone
2. Wait 5secs
3. Hold up volume button, home button, and power button until phone cuts on
4. Let go of power button
5. When Screen comes up let go of all buttons
6. Use volume button to go down to wipe cache, use power button to select
7. Then press select reboot system

It won’t delete anything its something u Supose to do before u update … hope it works for you
