Try the following to see if it can be narrowed down to a software problem or a hardware problem.
a). [https://www.hardreset.info/devices/oneplus/oneplus-6/wipe-cache/|Wipe the cache partition] and check if this resolves the problem.
b). Start the phone in [https://www.t-mobile.com/support/devices/android/oneplus-6t/safe-mode-oneplus-6t|safe mode] and check.
If the phone works OK in safe mode then a ''downloaded'' app is the cause of the problem. The trick is to find out which one. You will need to uninstall each ''downloaded'' app, one by one and test the phone in normal mode, between each uninstall, to check if it works OK. When it does then the last downloaded app that was uninstalled was the culprit. A ''downloaded'' app is one that you installed on the phone and did not come pre-installed with the phone when you got it.
c). If still no good, then try a factory restore.

Once the phone has been backed up, reset the phone using the phone’s factory restore feature.
Once the phone has been reset, check if the WiFi and the BT now work OK.
''If it works OK'', when you are satisfied that all is OK, using the backup you made earlier, restore the phone to what it was earlier, using the phone’s restore feature.
''If it still doesn’t work'' after the phone has been reset then there is a hardware problem.
