Your iPhone X was in the pool? The X is water resistant, not water proof. Any issues you are seeing now are almost certainly related to water infiltration. What's more, FaceID is coded-locked to the phone so it is not repairable. Apple could do it but they won't touch a water damaged phone.

At this point, you either replace the phone (do a backup while you can) with Apple or have it decontaminated by a shop that specializes in this and hope that there aren't any long-term issues that crop up. If you want to try to cleanup the phone yourself, see my canswer to this question (Water damage repair cost or fix).
